Pumpkin Bread For the Kids
- 100 grams Mashed kabocha squash (see Step 1)
- 100 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Sugar (if you omit the condensed milk use 2 tablespoons)
- 2 tbsp or so Condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 heaped teaspoon Dried Yeast
- 20 grams Butter
- 100 ml Egg + milk
- 1 Flour for dusting
- Take out the seeds from 1/4 of a kabocha squash and cut into 2 cm cubes.
- Microwave until tender, and mash with a fork.
- Leave to cool.
- (If leaving the skin on bothers you, take it off.)
- Break an egg into a measuring cup, and add milk up to the 100 ml mark.
- Put all the ingredients in a bread machine, and leave it up to the machine until the 1st rising is complete.
- This is how the dough looks after the 1st rising.
- It's easy to stretch and very soft.
- You will need some flour for the work surface.
- Take the dough out, deflate, round off and cover with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel.
- Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Roll out the dough.
- Fold the dough into thirds.
- Roll out again.
- Fold into thirds.
- Roll out 1 cm thick into a rough square.
- This time I cut it into 3 x 3 cm squares.
- You can cut it into rectangles or sticks or whatever you like.
- (My little one came to help out, so I left the left part of the dough for him to work on.)
- Decorate the top with a chopstick or whatever you like.
- (This is the little one's job.)
- 2nd rising: 20 to 30 minutes.
- When the dough has doubled in volume, it's ready to go.
- Bake in a preheated 180C oven for 15 to 25 minutes.
- When the tops are browned the bread is done.
- One of the little guys helped me cut out the dough at Step 10.
- According to him, they are 'slinky slinky snakes'.
- The rest was made into regular rolls.
- I couldn't fit it all on the baking sheet, so I put them in a plastic container with a lid and left it to rest in a warm place (I did it in our foyer this time) to let rise for 40 minutes.
- We like the cut out bread too.
- When the bread has cooled down, store in a jar to prevent it from drying out.
- A plastic container is good too.
- Freeze any leftovers.
- (We often just eat it up within 2 to 3 days without freezing any though.)
