Very bright and fragrant handsome, which is prepared very quickly. For this bread, I advise you to take butternut pumpkin or very similar to it, with bright orange flesh. But there is one trick - if you don’t have pumpkins on hand, take ready-made baby food in a glass jar.

How to cook Pumpkin bread

Step 1

Mix pumpkin puree with warm cream, water, butter, honey. Separately combine flour, polenta, yeast and salt. Pour the dry mixture into the mixer bowl, add the liquid part and knead with a hook attachment for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth. At the end, you can add seeds or nuts.

Step 2

Shape into a ball and place immediately on a greased baking sheet. Cover loosely with cling film, which also needs to be greased with olive oil so that the dough does not stick. Put in a warm place for 50-60 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. When the dough has almost doubled in size, dust it lightly with flour and make an indentation in the center with your finger or a round wooden handle. From the center (recess) with a very sharp knife or blade, make several cuts. Drop 6-8 ice cubes into the bottom of the oven and place the bread on top. Lower the temperature immediately to 200 degrees. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
