Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit until foamy.
- Add pumpkin puree, honey, olive oil, and salt; mix until combined.
- Gradually stir in flour until a soft, manageable dough forms. Adjust with flour if sticky.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch down the dough, divide into equal portions, shape each into small rounds, pinching one end to form classic pumpkin shapes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place on parchment-lined baking sheets; bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- For a unique flavor, consider using fresh pumpkin instead of canned.
- Allow dough to rise fully for fluffy bread bowls.
- Brush tops with melted butter before baking for a richer crust.
