Our feast would not be complete without the mouthwatering delights of fresh baked bread. So here is an extra recipe you can try, a perfect feast for young and old.
You will need
- 4 3/4 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 Tsp ground ginger, 1/4 Tsp ground nutmeg and 1/2 Tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 Tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp instant yeast
- 3/4 cup pureed pumpkin
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 Tbsp grated orange zest
- 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter or coconut butter
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
- 1/2 cup of caramelized pecans chopped
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the fruit, nuts and ginger. Knead until your dough is smooth approx. 2 minutes. Add in the remaining ingredients and knead until well mixed.
- Place dough in a greased bowl and cover for 2 hours until mix has doubled in size.
- On a greased or floured surface place dough and divide into 10-15 (depending on desired roll size) pieces and roll into balls. The dough will deflate a little as you do this. Gently flatten each dough ball to look like a thick pancake and using a blunt knife score approximately 8 radial lines around the outside to create a pumpkin/flower effect.
- Place rounds on a parchment lined baking tray and bake in a preheated over set to 350 F for approximately 25 minutes.
- Once baked you can serve warm with a little room temperature butter and your favorite fruit preserve.
Come feast and gobble till you wobble !!!
