Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Loaf pan
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 pastry brush
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 clean kitchen towel

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup milk warmed
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted (for brushing)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk for glaze
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and granulated sugar and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.
  • Add melted butter, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 12x20 inches.
  • Brush the rolled dough with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Cut the dough into 6 equal strips, stack them, and then cut into 6 equal squares.
  • Stand the squares upright in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bake the bread for 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to form a glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread before serving.

Notes

When rolling out the dough, make sure it is evenly flattened to ensure uniform cooking. If you find the dough sticky, dust lightly with flour to manage it better. Allow the bread to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting too quickly. Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the bread soft and fresh.
