3/4 c. puréed pumpkin, either fresh or canned

2 Tbsp. SunButter

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

3 – 4 c. gluten-free flour

1/4 c. brown sugar

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Directions:

In a large bowl, stir yeast into water. Add milk, egg, pumpkin, SunButter, oil, 2 cups flour, brown sugar, salt, ginger and cinnamon to yeast mixture. Beat well. Gradually add remaining flour, a little at a time, until you have a dough stiff enough to knead. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead to a smooth yet elastic dough. Put dough into an bowl coated with nonstick spray. Spray ball of dough. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Place dough on floured countertop. Divide dough in half and shape each into a load. Place on baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place pepitas on top of loaves. Bake about 30 minutes or until slightly browned. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying!
