This pumpkin shaped bread is the perfect addition to any Fall gathering!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The nice part about this bread is that you can use a variety of dough recipes to achieve the same look. I used my bread machine to make the dough – which made it even easier – and then shaped and baked it in my oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the Bread Machine to Make Pumpkin Shaped Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In case you’ve never used a bread machine I’ll give you a very brief summary of how it works: You simply dump everything into the pan (in the proper order – wet ingredients first, followed by dry), pop it in the machine, press start, and several hours later you have fresh bread! It’s super convenient. I’ve had my Zojirushi bread machine<\/a> for nearly 7 years and I’ve made dozens of delightful loaves of bread in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another nice feature is that you can set it to make just the dough if you would prefer to shape and bake it yourself. During the dough cycle the machine will mix, knead, and do the first rise for you. After that it’s just a matter of shaping, doing a second rise, and baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this pumpkin shaped bread I used the “Franksbr\u00f8d” recipe out of my favorite bread machine cookbook<\/a> (page 74 in the cookbook).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
