Pumpkin Yeast Bread

This was the most delicious bread I have tasted from my breadmaker. The consistency is wonderful. It is soft, flavorful and just delicious. I added 1/2 cup of raisins as well as 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1 extra teaspoon of cinnamon. I added the ingredients in the order listed on this recipe, and it came out PERFECT. Highly recommend this one.

It’s in the machine now. It was very easy to just follow the ingredients list from top to bottom and get it started. I imagine, from the ingredients provided that this bread is going to taste amazing; fresh and pumpkin-y. I know I will love it.

It’s not like a dessert bread it’s like a breakfast bread that you’d toast or a unique sandwich bread. The pumpkin flavor is light but noticeable. The crumb is moist yet fluffy and chewy. It is gently sweet but could be served savory too.

As written this bread is perfectly moot and delicious! I was so impressed with it’s mild earthy flavor that the second time that I made it I added a few tablespoons of roughly crushed caraway seeds and enjoyed a wonderful version of rye bread.

I made 2 loaves of this bread for a office party and I will say this. If you are following the instructions for this recipe to the T, you will be making a batter rather than a dough, it was far too wet to be kneeded and did not raise properly. So what I ended up doing is 1. add more yeast. (I used 2 packets of quick rise yeast) 2. I needed a good 5-5 1/2 cups of bread flour for this to be a kneedable dough (I baked this traditional style) and let the dough rest 1 hour in a bowl sprayed with cooking spray and covered in saran wrap (so it doesn’t stick to the bowl), then kneed and put in a bread pan (also sprayed with cooking spray) or on a baking sheet after forming your preferred shape (cooking spray as well) and re-cover and let sit for another hour to rise, score the top and do an egg wash, bake for 40 minutes and you will get a beautiful golden-brown loaf.

Made with melted butter instead of margarine, increased the pumpkin amount by a 1/4 cup and doubled the sugar. Still just slightly sweet. Very soft and tender loaf that the family loved.

Dry and just didn’t rise… No good for me.

good bread in form and texture but you could not taste the pumpkin

I didn’t make any changes but it turned out perfect id definitely make it again

This was an easy bread to make. It came out very good, making one large loaf. I, too, made this buy hand, not using my bread machine. I used mashed sweet potatoes that I had on hand in place of the pumpkin puree’. 2/3 cup of water is pretty much 5/8 c. of water to me. With making bread by hand, it is not so critical on the measurements. It took slightly more then 3 cups of flour, and I used unbleached, all-purpose flour. Then I baked the bread for 25 mins. at 350 degrees, using a glass loaf pan. (Times vary depending on the pan’s material).

Made it in the breadmaker, adjusted per some of the reviews. Increased to one cup pumpkin and one tablespoon yeast. I also added dried cranberries and walnuts. Aroma is indulgent, kids kept asking what is that smell, it’s so yummie!! The only down fall (no pun intended) is that loaf collapsed. Not sure why or if it has to do with the extra pumpkin or if because I used the sweet bread cycle on machine. Overall a 4 star rating. Next time I will stick to original recepie and use the regular bread cycle.

Very popular with my children. Mild in flavour. Paired great with the Coconut Curry Chilli from this site.

This did not work well for me. It tastes good, but didn’t rise or cook properly.

This is a gorgeous loaf of bread all around! Heavenly scented, sweet and tender with a stunning golden color. Reading from previous reviews that it rose and then collapsed, I reduced yeast to 1.75 tsp. fast acting bread machine yeast. I also subs 3/4 cups of the bread flour for whole wheat just because. Will definitely make again!

Very delicious bread. We loved it!!

First time making it was today. I just took it out my aged but wonderful GE bread maker.I adjusted the recipe as suggested under “most helpful positive review” -adding 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and increasing the yeast to 1 tablespoon. I plan to make more for sharing and freezing. The frozen loaves will make the 1 1/2 hour drive to my starving university student. Best bread recipe I have made to date 🙂

I tried recipe as written for bread machine. I did not read any reviews before making. It smelled awesome as it was baking. But when finished it was a disaster. It appeared to have risen and then fell. When I tried to take out of breadmaker it fell apart. It still taste good….but wouldn’t want to serve to anyone. I’d like to know if anyone else had same problem or how to correct! I have a West Bend bread maker. I use it frequently with no problems.

I used the bread machine for this recipe and it turned out perfect! Very subtle flavor, I will probably double up on the spices next time, but it was still awesome.

It was really good. Everyone here wants me to make it again.

Very dense and middle DIDNT cook. Will not make again.

Much better than the other pumpkin yeast bread I tried from this site. The mild spice flavor lends itself well to meat sandwiches, French toast or hot out of the oven.
