Yeast Free Sugar Free Oil Free Pumpkin Whole Wheat Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place raisins in a bowl and pour in boiling water to cover by 1 inch. Allow to sit until raisins are plump and rehydrated, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain raisins, and reserve 1/3 cup of the soaking water in a separate bowl.
• Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Combine pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, reserved soaking water, and oil in another bowl; mix with a spoon or whisk until well combined. Stir pumpkin mixture into flour mixture until just moistened. Fold in walnuts and raisins. Pour batter into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Do not sift the flour!
• Mix liquids and add to dry. Stir until there is no more dry flour.
• Depending on the humidity of the air where you live you may need a little bit more or less liquid.
• The dough should be moist but not sticky. It may take a few minutes for the flour to fully absorb the liquid, so don't rush to add liquid or flour to it.
• Score lightly the surface in a diamond or X shape to prevent splitting of the crust.
• It is important not to overwork the dough.
• Shape into a ball or an oval, with oiled hands.
• Place in clean Bread Pan.
• Bake for 40 minutes at 400°F.

Steps:

• Put the ingredients into your bread machine according to manufacturer's directions, and do a dough cycle for 1.5-lb or 2-lb.
• Extract the dough from the machine and lay a piece of parchment paper down on a cookie sheet, shaping the dough into a loaf.
• Brush with the beaten egg and cover in pumpkin seeds (pepitas) to your liking.
• Bake at 375F for 30-35 minutes or until the top is nice and crispy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Make sure to mix thoroughly.
• Beat the eggs. Stir in the milk and vegetable oil.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. The consistency will be more like muffin batter than bread dough.
• Grease a bread pan and spoon the mixture into the pan. Do your best to distribute the mixture evenly, squishing out big air pockets. Smooth out the top of the mixture with the back of a spoon (a swirly pattern looks nice) as the batter will keep the form/shape it's left inches.
• Cook for about 1 hour, or possibly 5-10 minutes more, until a toothpick inserted into the centre of it comes out clean.
