Pumpkin Bread
Can you tell I’m into making pullman loaves?
Since I bought some pullman loaf pans in Japan, it’s been a lot of fun making bread using them.
This time I tried a different recipe that was created specifically for the type/size of pan I bought.
This kitchen store initially specialized in selling kitchen tools to businesses but now they have a large online site where they sell their products to the public as well.
Some of their products are made for professionals and the pans I bought from them are so well made and high quality yet very inexpensive.
Another thing I like about this store is that they provide recipes.
This recipe was made for a smaller pan, so I adjusted the measurements and it turned out to be just fine.
Even though the pumpkin flavor is not very strong, the soft yellow color is beautiful, and the bread is very tasty. So I’m very happy with the result.
And I’m proud to announce that there were no holes in this bread!
(The first time I made a pullman bread, there was a small hole in the middle…)
8g dry yeast
100g ~ 160g lukewarm water
360g bread flour
23g sugar
8g salt
9g dry milk
75g pureed cooked pumpkin
23g butter, at room temperature
1. Mix dry yeast and 50g of water in a bowl until the yeast dissolves.
2. Add flour, sugar, salt, dry milk, and pumpkin.
3. Add water until it achieves the right consistency.
4. Fold in butter. Knead more until smooth. Form a ball. Place the ball in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for about 1.5 hours until doubled in bulk.
5. Press the dough with hands to get the air out. Divide the dough into two and form two balls. Let them rest covered with towel for 15 minutes.
7. Roll out the dough flat, and roll them into two logs. Place them in the greased pan. Let them rise until they come up to 8/10 in height.
8. Cover with a lid. Bake in the oven at 400 F for 30 minutes.
かぼちゃ食パン
食パン作りにはまっているの、分かります（笑）？
食パンの型を日本で買ってきて以来、楽しくって週末になると食パンを作りたくってしょうがないのです。
テリーは、やっぱり母の食パンがいい、というのですが、
私としては、ちょっと違うレシピも試してみたいところ。
で、先週末は、こんなかぼちゃ食パンを作ってみました。
型を買ったお店のレシピを使って作りましたが、きれいに焼きあがって大満足～！（レシピは一斤分だったので材料を1.5倍にして1.5斤型で作りました。）
一つ言えば、かぼちゃの味がちょ～っと薄過ぎかな、ということ。
でも、ほんのり出た黄色は気に入りました。
それにしても、日本の食パンは美味しい。。。
