How to Make Pumpkin Pull Apart Bread

Pull apart bread recipes look a lot more complicated than they are. Don’t be intimidated. This pumpkin pull apart bread recipe isn’t just delicious, it’s easy and fun to make too.

The Ingredients

Flour. To keep the dough light and fluffy, while also a little nutritious, I use a blend of all purpose and whole wheat pastry flour. It’s my go-to 50-50 blend I’ve used in countless baking recipes (like this Cream Cheese Banana Bread).Pumpkin. Adds flavor and moisture to the dough. Plus pumpkin is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.Butter. Not just any butter, BROWN butter. Browning the butter adds a wonderful toasted toffee flavor to the bread that is simply divine!Brown Sugar. Serves as the foundation for the sweet filling which caramelizes as it bakes between each layer of dreamy pumpkin dough. Instant Yeast. I love instant yeast because there’s no need to activate with milk or water before mixing it with the other ingredients. Egg and Milk. Bring the dough together and enrich the dough to make it soft and tender.Spices. A blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom makes this bread fill your kitchen with a heavenly aroma. Vanilla. Balances and enhances the pumpkin and brown sugar flavors.
