Machine, quick- Pumpkin Pie Bread
List of Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin pie mix (canned pumpkin pie filling with spice mix)
2 large eggs
4 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup raisins
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
1 tablespoon wheat gluten (see note)
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon fast-acting yeast
Recipe
Place all ingredients in bread machine in order listed. Select the fast cycle.
Open the lid after the machine has kneaded the dough for about five minutes. The dough should be formed into a very soft, sticky ball. If the dough is sticking to the sides or bottom of the pan, add a bit more bread flour. If the dough is crumbly - not in a ball or if the ball appears firm - add more water. Your machine still has kneading time and will work the water into your bread dough. Check on your dough until you are satisfied that a soft, sticky ball has formed.
After the machine has completed the baking cycle, remove the pan from the machine and transfer the bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool. If you cut the bread before it has cooled for about an hour, it will look doughy. It must cool completely to allow the structure of the bread to set.
Notes: Wheat gluten (not gluten flour) is available at natural foods stores such as Outpost.
This will make a 1 1/2-pound loaf. A 2-pound loaf cannot be made as it would overflow the pan.
