Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Domata Gluten Free Recipe Ready Flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon clove
• ** if you are going to use pumpkin pie spice, use a scant 2 teaspoons of spice in place of the spices mentioned here
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (do not use olive or peanut oil)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl add all of the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, salt, and spices. Sift the dry ingredients together. In a smaller bowl mix together the 2 beaten eggs, the oil, and the vanilla. Once the liquid ingredients are mixed well pour over the dry ingredients. Stir until the lumps are out. Do not over-stir the mixture. Pour into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top of bread. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center of the loaf. Cool for approximately 5 minutes in the pan, and then turn the pumpkin bread onto a cooling rack.

The bread cuts best when allowed to cool completely.

Ingredients – have them all at room temperature

3 cups sifted Domata Recipe Ready Floour
½-cup nonfat dry milk powder
¾-tsp salt
1 ½-tsp baking powder
¾ tsp unflavored gelatin
2 TBS sugar
3 ½-tsp Saf-instant yeast
3 eggs, beaten
¾-tsp vinegar
1/8 -cup vegetable oil
1 ¼-cup + 1/8 cup lukewarm water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, Grease a 5” x 9” loaf pan, and dust with Domata Recipe Ready Flour.

Mix all the dry ingredients in your mixing bowl first for several minutes while preparing the wet ingredients. Whisk together the wet ingredients and the yeast then add them to the dry and mix those together until mixed for ONLY 1 minute DO NOT OVER MIX. The batter should be slightly thicker than the consistency of cake batter. Add water a tablespoon at a time, as needed, to achieve this texture. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth with wet fingers, cover and let rise in a warm place until dough reaches top of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes then cover lightly with foil, and bake for another 35-40 minutes depending on your oven. Remove from pan immediately to cool. Cool before slicing. Store tightly covered on the counter for 3 days, in freezer for several weeks. (It will dry out in the refrigerator).

This recipe also makes beautiful dinner rolls.

Take a 1/3 cup greased scoop or equal measured amount of batter and place into large greased muffin pans. Bake at the same temperature as the bread, but for only 20 minutes or until nicely browned.
We also cover our rolls with a tin foil tent to insure not over browning.

**As a special treat add chunky applesauce or apple sauce that has chunky peaches.
