Instructions

Step 1

Combine your brown butter, milk, sugar, pumpkin purée, vanilla, egg, and salt, and whisk to create the wet mixture. Slightly heat up the mixture in the microwave (30-60sec) until it’s warm to touch, but not hot. This will help the yeast activate when added.

Step 2

Add your flour and instant yeast. Using a stand mixer with an attached dough hook, knead for about 12 minutes. This is an enriched dough so it will take time for the gluten to develop, and kneading by hand will take twice as long (oil your hands if you do to help with the stickiness). The dough should be tacky to touch, but not sticky.

Step 3

Form the dough into a ball and place in a clean oiled bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour and a half, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 4

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into four. Roll out each piece flat. Fold each like a book, and roll them out again. Do this twice to create those fluffy layers. Finish by creating four rolls, and place in a buttered 9x5 loaf pan.

Step 5

After shaping your dough, cover and let it sit for at least 30 minutes for a second rise. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 6

Brush the dough with an egg wash and bake for 35-40min minutes. This may vary depending on your oven. Look for a nicely browned top as a sign that your bread is done. Brush with maple syrup for a shine on top, and enjoy while it’s warm!
