adapted from this recipe....sunnyside up recipe
Bread
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 envelope) active dry yeast
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
Glaze
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/8 cup brown sugar
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, brown 2 tablespoons of butter,
letting it bubble up and turn a dark golden brown but being careful not
to allow it burn (turn black). Once browned, remove the pan from the
heat and carefully add the milk, return to stove and heat through.****
Pour the milk and butter into the bowl of standing mixer (fitted with a
dough hook) and allow to cool so it is no longer hot but also not cool
(about 100-110 degrees F). Once it has reached a warm but not hot
temperature add the yeast and 1/4 cup of sugar and allow to proof (this
can take up to 8 minutes, the top will look foamy and the liquid
cloudy). Then add the pumpkin, salt, and 1 cup of flour. Stir until
combined then add the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time and knead for 6
minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic and just slightly
sticky. If the dough is too moist, add extra flour 1 tablespoon at a
time.
Move dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean towel.
Allow to rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in
size. (I didn't let it rise that long)
While dough is rising, brown another 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the
sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well. Making sure sugar evenly
absorbs the butter. Set aside. Next, grease and flour a 9×5 loaf pan and
set aside.
Roll dough
into a 20×12 inch rectangle.*** Evenly sprinkle the dough with the
cinnamon sugar mixture and press into dough with rolling pin. Cut
the rectangle into 6 strips. Lay strips on top of each other and cut
each strip into 6 even squares (cut in half then each half into thirds).
Stack strips vertically into the loaf pan. Cover the pan with a clean
towel and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Make the butter/brown sugar glaze and pour over the top of the bread.
In the meantime preheat an oven to 350 degrees. After rising in the
pan bake for 30-40 minutes or until top is a very
deep golden brown. (I let mine rise all night and cooked in the morning.)
*** If dough is difficult to roll out, cover with a towel and allow to relax for a few minutes then try again.
**** My milk was room temperature.
Adding it cold to the butter can result in clumping.
