BREAD, YEAST: Nut Pumpkin Bread

Got the basis for this recipe from a little paperback bread machine book but I don't remember all the particulars anymore. I prefer to use pecans but of course your favorite works just as well.

3/4 cup milk (experiment with buttermilk!)
2/3 cup pureed pumpkin (I always used Libby's)
1/4 cup honey (or experiment with maple syrup--see instructions)
2 Tblsp softened butter or coconut oil
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp bread-machine yeast
3/4 to 1 cup pecans or your favorite nut

Add ingredients to your bread machine per your manufacturer's instructions, using the "raisin bread" cycle so the nuts can be added later (usually about 5 minutes before the final kneading cycle ends).
Substitution note: If you use maple syrup instead of honey, you'll of course have a different flavor; I add a tablespoon or so extra pumpkin puree to help balance out the extra fluidity of the syrup vs. honey (maybe it's not necessary but it makes me feel better about it!)

Spread the word
