Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread with Cinnamon Honey Butter

When I made the dough I used the recommended amount of flour and it was way too sticky. I added maybe another 1/2-3/4 cup flour and it was still really sticky but it turned out okay. Next time I will try a little more flour so it is easier to work with.

I would highly recommend making the cinnamon honey butter with it.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Yields 1 loaf

Ingredients:

2 1/4 tsp yeast

1/4 cup warm water, 110 degrees

1/2 tsp granulated sugar

1/4 cup milk, warmed to 110 degrees

2 Tbsp molasses

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 tsp salt

1 Tbsp butter, softened

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

1 egg

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

3 1/4 cups all purpose flour

For the swirl:

1 1/2 Tbsp butter, melted

1/3 cup light-brown sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

In the bowl of an electric mixer combine water, yeast and 1/2 tsp granulated sugar. Whisk until yeast has dissolved and let rest 5 minutes. Stir in milk, molasses, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, salt, softened butter, nutmeg, ginger, egg and pumpkin puree until well combine. Slowly add flour and knead with a dough hook attachment until dough is smooth and elastic. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 hour.

 

Butter an 8 1/2" x 4 1/2" in pan, set aside. In a small bowl whisk together brown sugar and cinnamon, set aside. Punch the risen dough down and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a large rectangle, about 22" x 8." Brush with melted butter, coming within about 1/2" of the edges. Sprinkle with cinnamon mixture, coming within about 1/2" of the edges. Roll dough up jelly roll style, starting with the short side. Place rolled dough in greased loaf pan and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 45 minutes. 

 

Bake 375 degrees for 45 minutes, tent loaf with foil halfway through baking to prevent excessive browning. Allow to cool in pan 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
