I need a recipe for pumpkin bread made with yeast. I used the recipe from Farm Journal published in the 60's for years but I don't have the book anymore. Does anyone have a copy of that cookbook and would be so kind as to print the recipe? The recipe makes a huge loaf loaded with cinnamon and is just perfect with ham which I'm serving for Thanksgiving this year.

Hi Nancy,
I don't have that cookbook, but I do have a really good recipe in fact I just made it 2 weeks ago to use in place of regular bread for a french toast casserole.
Here it is:
Pumpkin Bread
3 1/4 - 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup cooked mashed pumpkin
3/4 cup raisins
In large mixing bowl thoroughly combine 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, and spices. In saucepan heat milk, brown sugar, butter and salt just till warm (115-120 degrees) stirring constantly. Add to dry mixture in mixing bowl; add pumpkin. Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes at high speed.
By hand stir in raisins and enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead till smooth and elastic (5-8 minutes). Shape into a ball. Place in lightly greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch down, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into loaf; place in greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise till double (about 30 minutes). Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Remove from pan and cool.

Thank you so much for the recipe. I didn't use raisens in my recipe but I can always leave them out when I try yours.

Sharon:
That recipe sounds very good. I think I may try it. I've never made my own bread, I had a bread machine which I just loved. But, the recipe sounds like I may be able to do. I'm not much of a baker, but I'll try. Thanks.
