Pumpkin Seed Bread
It is November and that means Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I think cranberries, pumpkins, and Turkey when I think of November. What do you think of?
This yummy pumpkin seed bread machine recipe is perfect for Autumn and Thanksgiving! It’s one of my favorite Easy Pumpkin Recipes to make and share with family and friends.
Makes 1 loaf
Tips: Canned pumpkin purée must be at room temperature or the loaf will be short and heavy.
When using fresh pumpkin, ensure that it has the same consistency as canned.
See the Techniques Glossary, page 437, for instructions on toasting nuts and seeds.
Yes, you’re reading it right: The 1.5 lb (750 g) recipe contains more yeast than the 2 lb (1 kg).
Variation: Substitute fresh pumpkin, cooked and puréed, for the canned — but not pumpkin pie filling — also at room temperature.
