Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread
- Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
- Yield: 1 loaf 1x
Description
This Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread has layers of soft, tender pumpkin dough, sandwiched together with a homemade brown sugar pumpkin spice filling, then topped with a maple icing. This bread makes a delicious sweet breakfast or brunch treat or dessert. This bread is similar to pillowy soft pumpkin cinnamon rolls, but it is much easier to make.
Ingredients
Dough
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup whole milk, warmed to 110F
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 – 3 1/2 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Filling
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
Maple icing
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole milk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add all ingredients for dough. Knead the dough on medium-low speed for 4 minutes.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. If you don’t have a warm place in your house, you can turn your oven on. Once it reaches 100F, turn the oven off. Place the covered dough in the warm oven for 45 minutes.
3. While the dough rises, make the filling. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a large bowl and handheld mixer, add all ingredients for the filing. Beat until the mixture is well combined.
4. When the dough is done rising, punch the dough down and transfer to lightly floured surface. Divide into 20 roughly equal pieces. Roll each into a circle that is roughly 4 inches in diameter. Spread the pumpkin filling over each piece of dough, all the way to the edges. Fold the circle in half, and place in a greased 9×5 inch baking pan, round side up. Continue with remaining pieces of dough, placing each piece in the pan, round side up.
5. Cover the dough and allow it to rise for 20 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350F.
7. Bake in preheated oven 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool on wire cooling rack. Allow bread to cool in pan.
8. When ready to serve, make the icing. In a medium size bowl, whisk together ingredients for icing. Drizzle over bread and serve.
