Pumpkins are associated with the quintessential Thanksgiving dessert, a decadent pie filled with spices and sweetness. The pumpkin adds a smooth and luxurious texture that amounts to pure comfort food. Pumpkin is not only wonderful for its flavors but is also chock full of healthy vitamins. This was the inspiration for making a pumpkin pie brioche to include in Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. It can be baked as a loaf, in a brioche pan or even made into our Indian Spiced Doughnuts (page 287) or as the bottom crust for the Pear Tarte Tatin (page 290). It is fabulous as dessert or breakfast.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie Brioche:<\/strong><\/p>\n 3 cups white whole wheat, or traditional whole wheat<\/p>\n 4 1\/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour<\/p>\n 1 1\/2 tablespoons granulated yeast<\/p>\n 1 tablespoon kosher salt<\/p>\n 2 tablespoons Vital Wheat Gluten<\/a>**<\/p>\n 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/p>\n 1\/2 teaspoon ground ginger<\/p>\n 1\/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/p>\n 1\/4 teaspoon ground allspice<\/p>\n 1 1\/4 cups lukewarm water<\/p>\n 4 large eggs<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup honey<\/p>\n 3\/4 cup neutral flavored oil or unsalted butter, melted<\/p>\n 1 3\/4 cups pumpkin puree (freshly roasted or canned)<\/p>\n Egg wash for brushing on top<\/p>\n Raw sugar for sprinkling on top<\/p>\n These directions are abridged from the book, for more detailed instructions go to page 354 in The New Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day<\/a>. Note that there was an error in early versions of the book, which called for 2 cups of water– the correct amount was 1 1\/4, as above.<\/p>\n Mixing and storing the dough: whisk together all of the dry ingredients in a 5-quart Food Storage Container<\/a>, fitted with a non-airtight lid. Combine the liquid ingredients and add them to the dry with a wooden spoon. Mix thoroughly, until there are no more dry bits of flour. The dough will be quite loose when you are done.<\/p>\n Cover the container and allow the dough to rest on the counter for 2 hours. Once it has risen refrigerate for at least 2 hours before baking or it is too difficult to handle. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.<\/p>\n
