Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup warm water (100 ° to 110 °)
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 3 1/2 cups bread flour, divided (about 15 3/4 ounces)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated Gruyère cheese, divided
- Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon cornmeal
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 1 cup flour and butter to yeast mixture; stir just until combined. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 °), free from drafts, 30 minutes.
- Add pumpkin, salt, and nutmeg to flour mixture; stir until well combined. Add 2 1/4 cups flour and half of cheese; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining 1/4 cup flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 °), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Divide dough in half; shape each half into an 8-inch circle. Place dough circles on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Sprinkle remaining cheese and nuts evenly over dough circles; press lightly to adhere. Lightly coat dough circles with cooking spray; cover and let rise 20 minutes (dough will not double in size).
- Preheat oven to 400 °.
- Uncover dough; bake at 400 ° for 30 minutes or until loaves are browned on the bottom and cheese melts (shield loaves with foil to prevent overbrowning, if necessary). Cool on a wire rack.
