Cinnamon Swirl Yeasted Pumpkin Bread

Servings 2 loaves

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2-3/4 cup water

Fililng

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, oats, brown sugar, melted butter and pumpkin. Stir in the yeast. Add in the flour and add in enough water to create a tacky but not sticky dough. What does that mean? The dough doesn’t stick to your finger when you touch it, but there is still a stickiness to the dough. Knead the dough until it comes together and is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes by hand or 7 minutes with a stand mixer and dough hook.
  • Cover and allow to raise about and hour. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Roll out the half of dough into a large rectangle. Brush the dough with water. Sprinkle 1/2 the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the dough. Take the outside edges of the dough and fold them in. Roll the dough up and place it into a greased loaf pan. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  • Cover and allow to raise another hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake bread for 25 minutes. Rotate. Bake for another 20-30 minutes until the bread is done. Allow to cool. Enjoy slathered with some salted butter. Or if you are feeling really sassy, maybe some cinnamon butter.
