Ingredients
- 1½ cups lukewarm water
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- ¼ cup canola or safflower oil plus extra for coating
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger

- 2 large eggs
- 6½ to 7 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water and sugar.
- Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Knead 8 to 10 minutes, until you have a smooth dough.
- Place dough in lightly greased bowl and turn dough over so its top is also oiled. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place 1 to 1½ hours, until doubled.
- Punch down. Turn onto a board and divide in half. Shape into two loaves and place in 2 greased 9x5x3 loaf pans.
- Brush the top with a little oil (optional). Cover and let rise 50 minutes, until almost doubled.
- Bake 35 minutes, or until bread tests done.
