Pumpkin Yeast Bread

Pumpkin yeast bread is my favorite. During the fall season when pumpkin is available, making this bread is healthy and much better than quick pumpkin bread. Using a bread machine to make this bread is both time and money saving.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup fresh or canned pumpkin
1 egg
1 tsp salt
2 tbs sugar
2 tbs soft butter or margarine
3 cups bread flour
2 tsp active dry yeast

Directions:
Place all the ingredients into the bread pan machine as listed above or follow the instruction manual for your bread machine. Press the dough button to start. When the machine finishes kneading, mixing and rising for first time, remove the dough and use your fist to punch down on the dough to remove some air. Put the dough into a lightly oiled 9" x 5" loaf pan. Cover and let it rise until double in size (about 40 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350° and bake bread for 30 minutes.

This dough can be used to make sweet pumpkin dinner rolls.
