Swirled Pumpkin Yeast Bread
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 2-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4-1/2 to 5 cups bread flour
- 1-1/2 cups warm water (120u0b0 to 130u0b0)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- In a large bowl, mix first seven ingredients and 2 cups all-purpose flour. In a small saucepan, heat water, pumpkin, oil and applesauce to 120u0b0-130u0b0. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in raisins and enough remaining all-purpose flour to form a firm dough.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into an 18x9-in. rectangle. Spread each with 2 tablespoons butter to within 1/2 in. of edges and sprinkle with 1/4 cup brown sugar mixture. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Place in greased 9x5-in. loaf pans, seam side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Bake until golden brown, 50-60 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool.
