Ingredients
 
 

  • 220 mls water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 400 grams pumpkin
  • 2 teaspoons cooking salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 750 grams bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon bread improver
  • 2 tablespoons milk powder
  • 80 grams pepitas (for loaves)
  • 1¾ teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1¾ teaspoons instant dried yeast
  • 80 grams pepitas (for decoration)

Instructions
 

  • Boil and drain or bake pumpkin. Remove skin and mash well, weigh out 280 grams to use.
    400 grams pumpkin
  • Add all the ingredients (except the pepitas for decoration) to the bread machine in the order listed.
    220 mls water, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 400 grams pumpkin, 2 teaspoons cooking salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 750 grams bread flour, 1 teaspoon bread improver, 2 tablespoons milk powder, 80 grams pepitas, 1¾ teaspoons ground cumin, 1¾ teaspoons instant dried yeast
  • Set the bread machine to the bread dough cycle and start.
  • Once complete, remove from bread pan and divide evenly into three. Work each ball of dough into a cylinder shape to fit a loaf tin 8cm x 19cm (base). Silicone bakeware works very well for bread (Wiltshire makes them in this size).
  • Decorate with additional pepitas.

  • Place dough into loaf tins and leave in a warm place for around one hour until the dough doubles in volume.
  • Place a baking dish with a tray of ice at the bottom of the oven and preheat to 190°C or 170°C fan forced. The steam helps to form a good crust.
  • Cook for 30-40 minutes until crust is dark golden brown. Bottom of bread should sound hollow when tapped.
