CINNAMON SWIRL PUMPKIN YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• Add the water and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix briefly to combine. Add the milk, eggs, pumpkin, oil, brown sugar, salt, and spices and beat until the mixture is uniform, about 30 seconds. Add 4 cups of the flour to the mixer bowl, and beat until the flour is incorporated and a sticky dough forms. Remove the paddle attachment and switch to the dough hook. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add enough of the remaining flour as is necessary to create a dough that is smooth and elastic. Transfer the dough to a well-oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. While the dough rises, make the filling by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Also, spray two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it in half. Press (or roll) each half into a rectangle about that is about 18 x 9 inches. Brush each half with the melted butter then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Starting with a short side, roll each rectangle of dough tightly into a cylinder, pinching the seam closed when you get to the end. Place the loaves in the prepared loaf pans, seam side down. Press down gently so the dough touches all four sides of the pan. Cover each pan with a piece of plastic wrap (or a towel) and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Toward the end of the rise time, preheat the oven to 375 F. Bake the loaves for about 30 minutes.

CINNAMON SWIRL PUMPKIN YEAST BREAD

Steps:

• First, make sure your yeast is active: combine the water, tablespoon of sugar, and the yeast, stir, and set aside until you see it begin to foam. Your yeast is alive, so proceed.
• Add the remaining ingredients except for 1/2 cup of the flour and those for the filling. Thoroughly combine your dough and knead using your preferred method: a bread machine "dough" setting, your trusty stand mixer, or your own hands. Whatever method you choose, you're done kneading when the dough is springy and smooth to the touch. If it's a bit sticky, add that reserved 1/2 cup of flour a bit at a time until the stickiness goes away. If it seems a bit dry/clumpy, you can add water by the tablespoon until the dough is more elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel, then set aside to rise in a warm place for 60 minutes.
• Prep your swirl filling by combining the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Make your swirl! Retrieve that risen dough, then roll it to a rectangular shape using a rolling pin. Spread the cinnamon-sugar over the rectangle leaving a thin border around all edges. Roll the bread up like a jelly roll to create the swirl, then tuck under the left and right sides to seal the edges.
• Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a greased loaf pan and allow it to rise for another 60 minutes, or until the loaf rises above the lip of the loaf pan.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake the loaf for 45-55 minutes until done.
