When you think of pumpkin bread, you probably think of the sweet cake-like stuff that’s usually served with coffee, right?  This pumpkin bread is completely different.  Use this delicious and moist pumpkin bread for making sandwiches or toasted for breakfast with butter and jam.

Try this delicious made from scratch savoury pumpkin bread as a sandwich bread, as toast, or made into dinner rolls.  It's an easy healthy recipe made with yeast that your family, and even your kids, is sure to love. #pumpkin #bread #recipe #easy #healthy #dinnerrolls #baking #fall #autumn #fromscratch #Thanksgiving

A few posts back I showed you how to harvest and process your fresh garden pumpkins.  If you processed yours with me, you might be wondering what to make with all of that pumpkin puree.

Remember this?

Want to make pumpkin bread that's perfect for sandwiches and is more like the kind you'd use for toast instead of dessert? This is your recipe! It's easy, healthy, mixer-friendly, and uses up all that extra pumpkin puree.

There’s so many awesome things you can make with pumpkin, like pancakes, cake, muffins, and chili.  In the interest of getting my super-picky-with-texture-issues child to eat some vegetables, we’re going to make bread.

P.S. If you have a really picky child in your life and expect them to eat this bread, you might want to skip the step of sprinkling seeds on top.

Back when my garden was flooded with zucchini, I made a recipe for Zucchini Sandwich Bread, and this is similar.  If you like to experiment with bread like I do, you can safely substitute 1/2 of your water content in your favourite bread recipe with vegetable puree of your choice.

I was surprised that my dough wasn’t more orange, but happy, because then it has a better chance of being eaten!!  I also used the pumpkin seeds from last post to add visual appeal and some crunch.

Update: After having made this recipe multiple times over the years, I’ve found that the colour of the dough largely depends on the type of puree you’re using.  Homemade puree tends to be lighter, while the stuff from the can tends to be darker.

The bread turned out just the right texture for our family- light, but not so light that it falls apart when you spread butter on it.  I promise you don’t have to be an expert bread baker for this recipe to turn out for you.  As long as you have a stand mixer and don’t have to rely on knowing the right “feel” for bread, you can ace this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree,
  • 1 cup water,
  • 1 Tbsp yeast,
  • 1Tbsp honey,
  • 2 eggs,
  • 5 cups flour,
  • 1/4 cup oil,
  • 1/2 Tsp salt,
  • For the optional topping:
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Set out one cup of warm water and dissolve honey. Add yeast and let sit 10 minutes.
  2. Add pumpkin puree, eggs and oil then stir. Add in salt and 2 cups flour, then mix with your dough hook. Keep adding in flour until your dough forms a ball. Usually 5 cups, but depending on the humidity it can take as little as 4 1/2 and as much as 6.
  3. Grease a clean bowl, put in dough, cover with a clean towel, and set to rise in warm place. Once it has doubled (anywhere from an hour to 2 hours depending on the humidity that day), punch down and divide amongst two greased bread pans.
  4. Poke holes with a fork--unless you are decorating with pumpkin seeds.
  5. If you are decorating with the pumpkin seed mixture, sprinkle seeds on top of the bread. Cut 4 or 5 diagonal slits in the bread with a sharp knife.
  6. Let rise until over the rim of the pan.
  7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow sounding when knocked.

I love seeing the world through this loving boy’ I love seeing the world through this loving boy’s eyes.  Honestly, I’ve been so sick that I wasn’t really in the mood to “do Valentines Day” but there was this sweet little voice going on about how excited he was for today and how much he loves his family and I just couldn’t resist.  So whether you’re on your own, part of a couple, or in the thick of life-with-littles craziness, Happy Valentines Day!

How do you pass a cold -28 day? By planning your How do you pass a cold -28 day?  By planning your garden, of course!  Today in my stories I’ll be going through the steps I take to start planning everything out.  I’m curious, do you start planning now or wait until the last minute?

P.S.  want your own copy of this planner?  This is the newly updated paid version and it’s on sale by itself from now until Sunday for only $5.  If you’re from Canada, use the code CANADA to make $5 USD be closer to $5 CAD.  Head over to the link in my bio to get yours.

Curious about growing lettuce indoors? My experim Curious about growing lettuce indoors?  My experiment is a success so far, although it’s still going to be awhile before I’m eating another salad off of them.

Okay, so maybe a little rant today.  I think sometimes in the gardening space we’re guilty of making things seem easier than they are.  Myself included.  This lettuce project is a case in point.

Was it easy?  Yes.  But will it provide me with endless salads all winter long? Nope.  Or at least not at this scale.  I’m going to estimate that I’d need at least 15 plants this size, especially since it’s winter and everything just grows slower.  And I’m the only person in my family who really eats salad.

In conclusion, this is a fun project to pass the winter, and not a truly sustainable source of lettuce.

Thoughts?

Part of the mystery of seed starting is knowing ex Part of the mystery of seed starting is knowing exactly what to start when.  Every two weeks, I'll be posting these handy guides so you have enough time to order your seeds and be ready to plant when it's time for your area.  To find out when these veggies, herbs, and flowers need to be started where you live. . . ⁠
⁠
1. Search out your area's last frost date.  There are plenty of calculators on the Internet.⁠
⁠
2. Count backwards 8 weeks from that date.⁠
⁠
3. Start these seeds when that date hits.⁠
⁠
If you follow me because we're in similar zones--don't panic, it's not time yet!! I won't be starting my 10 week seeds for another two weeks, and even that is slightly on the early side. (I'm starting everything a bit early so I can hopefully plant it out before baby gets here--I won't be physically able to do it after.) I like posting the info early for followers in warmer zones and so you can save it and still have time to order/buy seeds & supplies.⁠
⁠
Which one of these are you most excited to start?⁠

Eeeek!!! My luffa seedlings are up!! I’m growing Eeeek!!! My luffa seedlings are up!! I’m growing the whole seed packet in hopes that a few of these little luffa babies will provide me with zero waste sponges that I can use for home cleaning, and as an exfoliant in home made beauty products.

The catch?

These plants are notoriously hard to grow, especially when you live somewhere cold with a really cold growing season—and if they get a hint of frost on them they turn to mush and all my hard work is ruined.

Gulp.

But gardeners are born optimists, so I’m giving it a shot—because you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

P.S. if you’re trying luffa in zone 3 like me, just basically ignore all the directions on the seed packet.  Start them immediately (two weeks ago would have been ideal) and follow along because I’ll show you exactly what to do and when.  I’ll be popping these under a grow light once the sun goes down.

I came to New York to meet with other content creators/business owners to dig deep into what we do and create a strategy around our messaging.  I don’t even know how to properly describe what all went down, but is was incredibly life changing and I really feel connected to this tribe of women who are committed to playing to win and being the people our businesses need us to be.  I’m so excited to share what I’ve planned for my business with you in the coming months.

Is there such a thing as a no-fail houseplant? I Is there such a thing as a no-fail houseplant?  I think the Sansevera or Snake Plant or Mother-in-law’s tongue comes close.  Sure, it might be the vanilla of the plant-loving world, but it is so good for so many situations!⁠
⁠
It can handle you forgetting to water it, low light, or bright light.  It is somewhat forgiving if you are an over-waterer. ⁠
⁠
I’ve had this one for 2 or 3 years now and I keep getting rewarded with more spikes.⁠
⁠
Plant lovers, is there another houseplant you think would be perfect for beginners?⁠
