  • Kitchen towel
  • Oven

Ingredients

Group: Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet instant yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp. ground ginger
  • ½ tsp. salt

Group: Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • cup whole milk, warmed
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Group: For the Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, warmed whole milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour.
  • Once risen, punch down the dough gently, then divide into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
  • Melt butter in a shallow dish and mix with sugar and cinnamon. Dip each dough ball into the mixture and stack in a greased pan.
  • Cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
  • Whisk together powdered sugar and milk for glaze and drizzle over the warm bread.
