Brandied Pumpkin Bread

Read Review (1)

"A wonderful hearty pumpkin bread made in the machine. I make it every Thanksgiving. It's not like your usual pumpkin breads (sweet breads) made for dessert, it's more a serve-with-the-meal kind of bread." — MOXIECOLA

Directions

Combine flour, yeast, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt, butter, pumpkin puree, water, and brandy in the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Select the Sweet or Basic/White cycle using the Light crust setting and start the machine. (To make the bread without a bread machine, see Editor's Note.)
When the bread is done baking, remove it from the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Cook's Note:
You may use vanilla extract instead of brandy and margarine instead of butter, if you prefer.
Editor's Note:
To make this recipe in a stand mixer, combine all of the ingredients except the softened butter in the mixing bowl. Mix on low speed using the dough hook, scraping the dough down occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the softened butter and mix for an additional 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and allow it to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Flatten the dough into a rectangle, pressing down with your hands to pop any air bubbles. Fold the dough into thirds, rolling it slightly under your palms to form a loaf, and pinch the seam to seal. Place the dough into the loaf pan, seam-side down, cover it with a floured kitchen towel, and allow it to rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake the bread in a preheated 400 degree oven (200 degrees C) until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

Nice texture and taste. The pumpkin flavor was very subtle, and I felt it could have used more pumpkin pie spice. The bread is just slightly sweet, and would be perfect to serve with Thanksgiving dinner.
