Bread with pumpkin in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Measure out ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the pumpkin into small pieces, place in a saucepan, add water and boil until tender. To make the bread sweeter, you can sweeten the pumpkin during cooking by adding 1 tbsp. l. Sahara.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add nutmeg, sugar, salt and yeast to the sifted flour. Mix.

4. STEP 4

   

   Drain the water from the finished pumpkin and mash the pumpkin itself with a fork.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour warm water and melted butter into the pumpkin. Stir until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the pumpkin puree into the flour and knead thoroughly with your hands for about 10 minutes, adding a little flour if necessary.

7. STEP 7

   

   The dough should be soft, pliable and slightly sticky.

8. STEP 8

   

   Roll the dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave to rise for 1.5 hours.

9. STEP 9

   

   Form the dough into a loaf or simply place it in a loaf pan. Leave in a warm place for 40 minutes to proof. I have long wanted to make slices like this using thread. The bread turns out in the form of a beautiful golden flower with rounded petals.

10. STEP 10

    

    Dust the surface of the bread with flour. Place a small container of water in advance at the bottom of the oven preheated to 180°C. Place the bread on top and bake for about 30 minutes until done.

Pumpkin bread in the oven attracted me with its unusualness. I boiled the pumpkin. I kneaded the dough according to the recipe. It rose well. At the same time, it had a structure that stuck to your hands, so I worked with the dough by greasing my hands with sunflower oil. I liked Maria's idea of ​​wrapping the dough with thread to give it shape. But the texture of my soft, sticky dough did not allow me to realize it. Well, nothing! Next time I’ll add a little more flour to the dough and do the same. The bread turned out soft and airy inside. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
