How to Make Pumpkin Yeast Bread

  1. In a large bowl (or bread machine pan), combine the warm water, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. If using a bread machine, place the ingredients in the pan according to your machine's instructions and select the basic setting for a 1 1/2 pound loaf. If kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
