I had seen this bread long time ago. From that time I want to give it a try , Now , it was time to fulfill my desire to make this cute pumpkin breads.
As usual I made the bread without egg. As I
had added pumpkin puree , which gives
the orange colour as well as flavor to the bread. I shaped the bread into mini
pumpkins.
I enjoyed the whole process of making and
baking the bread. Everyone in our family liked the bread .
I used
homemade pumpkin puree , I will be sharing the recipe soon.

purpose flour – 5 cup
Homemade
pumpkin puree – 1 cup

brown sugar and pumpkin puree and mix well.
Add the flour to a bowl , to this add in the
proofed yeast and mix.
Add in the milk mixture to the flour and mix well with a wooden
spatula. The dough will be sticky at
this stage.
Turn the dough to the kitchen counter top ,
dust little flour . Knead with the heel of the palm for ten minutes to build up
gluten.
Place the dough in a oiled bowl and cover
with a cloth , let it to rise and double
in a warm place , it takes about 1 – 2 hour.
When the dough doubles , punch and deflate
it. Knead the dough for five minutes. Then divide the dough equally according
to the size of the bread needed.
Roll each piece into a ball . Flatten the ball
a little with your palm. Using a knife , cut around the outer but leave the
center uncut .
Poke a hole in the center with your finger,
insert the almond / cashew on the hole.
Place
the prepared mini pumpkin breads in the baking tray with 2 inch space between. Let them to rise again
to be doubles say for 45 minutes.
Brush the melted butter on the rolls and I
sprinkled sugar on them , for browning while baking.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven @ 200* C
for 20 – 30 minutes.
As I inserted the almonds before baking , it
too cooked and got a golden brown resembles exactly the pumpkin stem.
