Knowing that this was going to take a lengthy amount of time to rise I actually started this ahead of time last night. Between the crying newborn and potty training our two year old I have learned to make the best use of any small amount of time to myself I get. My husband and I always wonder what we ever did with all of our extra time before we had children.
I was a little concerned that my bread didn’t rise properly last night, but it ended up rising more than I expected this afternoon. I only had two normal bread pans so I made one regular sized loaf and one that was a little smaller. Like many of the other bloggers I was not too excited about a yeast style pumpkin loaf, but I must say I am a total convert. I loved the delicate crust and the subtle sweet flavor was a wonderful surprise. I am going to try to make some rolls with this for Thanksgiving. Oh and I substituted dried cherries here because we didn’t have any cranberries.I would definitely make this again…perhaps as one large loaf.
One delicious recipe–I’m glad you liked it. Kids are plenty of work. We had 6 kids under 12–non-stop fun. Yeah.
That is insane. Two is overwhelming at times I can’t imagine 6! Did you and your husband ever have time to talk?
Astounded that you managed to bake at all with two little ones in the house. The loaves look delicious. Glad you enjoyed it.
These made into rolls would be very pretty on the TG table!
