Here is the Fleishman's recipe for Peter Pumpkin Bread. This is a delicious bread, shaped like a pumpkin or a Jack O' Lantern and used pumpkin pie mix to flavor the dough. Its delicious and is great for either Halloween or Thanksgiving. Ingredients:
dough |
3-1 / 2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 / 4 cup sugar |
1 envelope fleischmann’s rapidrise yeast |
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 / 2 cup water |
1 cup pumpkin pie filling |
1 / 4 cup butter or margarine |
1 large egg |
powdered sugar glaze |
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted |
2 to 3 tablespoons milk |
food coloring, orange for pumpkin and green for stem (optional) |
raisins, dried apple pieces for decoration |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Heat water, pumpkin, and butter until very warm (120o to 130oF). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
2. Reserve a plum-size piece of dough. Divide remaining dough into 4 equal pieces; roll each piece to 7-inch rope. Place side-by-side on greased baking sheet. Pinch ends together to shape into pumpkin. Shape reserved dough into stem. Place over top of pumpkin; pinch to seal. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
3. Bake at 375oF for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack. Decorate with colored Powdered Sugar Glaze, raisins and apple pieces to resemble a face, if desired.
