I bought some little pie pumpkins, and cooked them tonight to use in various dishes for Thanksgiving. They made quite a lot of pureed pumpkin, so I adapted a bread recipe to use 1 cup of the pumpkin. It's rising right now - can't wait to try it!

How To Make pumpkin yeast rolls or bread (bread machine)

  • 1
    I used a bread machine for this recipe. You could also use a stand mixer. I also used fresh cooked, drained and pureed pumpkin. I used the juicy water that drained off as the water in my recipe.

    Measure all ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order given. Make a well in the flour on top to put the yeast in, making sure the yeast does not touch the liquid ingredients. Set the machine for the dough only setting.
  • 3
    When risen, shape into rolls or into long baguette-style loaves. Place into lightly greased pan(s). Allow to rise again until doubled in size. This could take anywhere from 30 minutes for rolls to 1 1/2 hours for loaves, depending on how warm your rising area is.
  • 4
    Bake at 375°F about 25 minutes for rolls or 30 minutes for baguettes. Turn out of pans onto racks to cool.
  • 5
    Serve rolls warm, or slice baguettes into 1-inch slices to serve. These are not too sweet and can be used for dinner or breakfast. REALLY good toasted with butter and orange marmalade!
