Confetti Yeasted Pumpkin Bread Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix first 7 ingredients and 2 cups bread flour. In a small saucepan, heat water, pumpkin, oil and applesauce to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in raisins and enough remaining bread flour to form a firm dough., Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into an 18x9-in. rectangle. Spread each with 2 tablespoons butter to within 1/2 in. of edges and sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Place in greased 9x5-in. loaf pans, seam side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°., Bake until golden brown, 50-60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• For the pumpkin bread: Pour the warm milk into a large bowl and sprinkle the yeast over top. Let the yeast activate until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, 1 large egg and the oil until smooth. Whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl, then stir into the pumpkin mixture until a shaggy ball forms.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Turn out the dough and knead until very smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Transfer to another large bowl lightly greased with oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Punch down the dough, then reroll it into a smooth ball about 6 inches wide. Cut three 24-inch-long pieces of kitchen twine and lay them on a clean work surface, crisscrossing at the center to create a star-shaped pattern. Place the ball of dough in the center, then tie the ends of the twine up over the dough and secure in a knot, leaving about 1 inch of space between the dough and knot so it has room to proof and expand. Do not tie the twine too tightly. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, insert the cinnamon stick in the center of the dough for the "stem." Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until the kitchen twine has tightened and the dough is starting to take the shape of a pumpkin, 15 to 30 minutes more.
• While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl, then brush over the entire exterior of the bread with a pastry brush. Bake until well browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 190 degrees F at the center, about 30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the spiced pumpkin butter: Combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar melts and the mixture thickens slightly and turns a deep orange color, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
• Carefully cut and remove the kitchen twine from the bread. Cut into slices and serve with the spiced pumpkin butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a bowl and 2 loaf pans.
• Stir yeast in warm water in a bowl until dissolved. Let sit until yeast starts to foam, about 5 minutes.
• Stir pumpkin, milk, shortening, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom into the yeast mixture. Add eggs and 3 cups flour. Beat, using an electric mixer on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, about 2 minutes. Mix in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
• Turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place dough in the greased bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half; form into loaves and place into the prepared pans. Cover loaves with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top and sides are brown, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In large bowl, combine muffin mixes and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, mix eggs, corn, buttermilk and 1/4 cup oil until blended. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Fold in cheese, onion, chiles, pimiento strips and jalapeno., Brush remaining oil onto bottom of a 13x9-in. baking pan; place in oven until hot, 4-5 minutes. Pour batter into hot pan. Bake until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Bring yeast, pumpkin, and eggs to room temperature.
• Combine dry goods together in the bowl of your stand mixer and stir gently to blend well. Make sure the dried fruits and pumpkin seeds are evenly coated with flour.
• Combine pumpkin, eggs, and warm melted butter in a separate bowl and stir well.
• Add wet ingredients to the dry, and stir with the paddle attachment on your mixer until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Switch to the dough hook and knead 5 to 7 minutes, or until smooth, adding additional flour sparingly if dough is too wet.
• Transfer dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly oiled counter top or a silicone mat. Divide dough into quarters, and shape each quarter into a tight ball.
• Place balls onto parchment lined baking sheets. (Two balls should fit on a standard sheet pan.) Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and allow to rise another hour, or until puffy, but not doubled. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F during the last 10 minutes of the rise.
• Bake at 375 degrees 30 to 35 minutes, tenting the tops of the bread with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes to prevent over browning, if necessary. The interior temperature of the bread should read about 200 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, and the bread should sound hollow when tapped.
• Cool on a wire rack until you can't stand the tantalizing smell any longer, and have to cut yourself a slice!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 4 cups flour, cornmeal, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the buttermilk, butter and onion to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in the cheese, corn and peppers. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Divide half of dough into two portions so that one portion is twice the size of the other; shape larger portion into three 16-in. ropes. Place on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under., Shape smaller portion into three 10-in. ropes. Braid on a lightly floured surface; tuck ends under. Brush bottom of braid with water and place over larger braid. Cover loaf and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough., Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine crushed sugar cones and 2 tablespoons sugar with melted butter. Using the bottom of a glass, press cone mixture onto bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Bake until set, 12-15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack., Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 5 minutes. Beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Slowly beat in cream, butter flavoring and extract. In a microwave, heat gelatin on high until melted, about 10 seconds; beat into cream cheese mixture. Fold in sprinkles; transfer filling to crust. Refrigerate, covered, until set, about 3 hours., Top with additional sprinkles.
