Ingredients

  • ā…“ cup water, warm to the touch (see notes)
  • 1 cup of brown sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast
  • 1½ cups [180 grams] all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup melted room-temperature butter, plus ¼ cup to grease the pan
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • 2 teaspoons of cinnamon powder

Preparation

Before starting, please make sure you have all the ingredients and utensils ready.

Step 1: Proofing the yeast

Combine warm water (finger temperature), and ¾ cup of sugar. Add the yeast and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until foamy (see notes).

Step 2: Kneading the dough

In the mixer bowl, stir together the flour and salt. To the flour mixture, add the yeast mixture, pumpkin puree, ¼ cup butter, and egg.

Knead in the mixer using the hook at medium speed for 7-10 minutes. The dough should be supple and smooth. Add the raisins and mix about a minute until the raisins are well incorporated.

Step 3: Rest the dough

Turn off the mixer and place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel. Let it rest for 40 minutes.

Step 4: Make bread roll

Grease a 6-cup non-stick bundt mold with the remaining butter. Sprinkle the bottom with the sugar, followed by the cinnamon powder. 

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and press slightly to release the gas. Make a log and arrange it in the bundt mold to make a ring.

Step 5: Rest the dough

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until you poke with a skewer and it comes out clean. Remove from the mold and serve.

Top tips

  • As bread-making goes, this is a beginner recipe. There are two important things to keep in mind. First, your yeast has to be fresh, and just because you just bought it from the supermarket doesn't necessarily mean that it is fresh, in my experience.
  • If the yeast does not get foamy, it almost certainly is dead, so you need to get fresh yeast. 
  • Another thing to remember is that temperatures are important, including the temperature of the water you add to the bread. 
  • Please read this about yeast and bread-making. The water should be as close to 105 ĀŗF [40 Āŗ C] as possible and feel neither cold nor hot when you put a finger in it. Too hot and the yeast will die. Too cold, and it will take more time to start doing their work.

Serving suggestions

This bread is great with coffee or hot cocoa for breakfast. You can eat it as is, or slather it with some butter, cream cheese, or jam.

Variations

You can use craisins (sweet dry cranberries) instead of raisins.

Another great addition is minced toasted walnuts (or another of your favorite nuts) added to the sugared bottom.

Instead of cinnamon, you can sprinkle the bottom of the pumpkin bread with 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.

FAQs

Why did my pumpkin bread not rise?

If your bread does not rise, the first thing that comes to mind is that the yeast is old and expired. You should start with a fresh batch of yeast if you're not sure about the quality of the one you have at home.

How to make pumpkin bread with yeast?

Pumpkin bread with yeast is simply regular bread to which pumpkin puree is added. Instead of a cake-type bread that is made with baking powder or baking soda, this is made with yeast.

    I tried making it twice and the bread was flat and bland.

      If it was flat is almost certain that the yeast was too old. I don't know about bland, I liked it, but I can't guarantee everybody will.
