Yeasted Pumpkin Bread by Sprouted Kitchen

I used a natural cane sugar as called for, but next time I will swap in some dark muscavado to lend a little of that caramely goodness that pairs well with pumpkin. The one cup of sugar that gets layered in the bread makes it on the sweeter side, scale back if you prefer it less so. Note this is not a slicing bread, it breaks in chunks for a free form breakfast treat.

Ingredients

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter

1/2 cup milk

2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

1 1/4 cups natural cane sugar, divided

3/4 cup pumpkin puree

1 tsp. sea salt

1 1/3 cup unbleached bread flour or all purpose

1 cup spelt flour

1 Tbsp. olive oil

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. fresh grated nutmeg
