Light and delicious Pumpkin Yeast Bread makes a beautiful addition to any meal. This recipe is easy, versatile, and perfect for your holiday table. You can make delicious loaves, rolls or both!
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Hand mix until dough holds together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, approximately 8 minutes.
Place dough in a large lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap that has been lightly greased, and allow to rise for 60-75 minutes or until doubled.
Gently deflate, and turn out on to a lightly greased work surface. Divide in half.
Shape each half into a loaf and place into 9x5 inch loaf pans. Alternatively, shape half into a loaf and the other half into 12 to 16 rolls, which can be placed into two 8" greased round pans or into a 9"x13 pan. Or, make all dough into 24 to 32 rolls.
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Cover the pans and allow to rise another 45 minutes, or until doubled.
Bake loaves 30-35 minutes or rolls 20 minutes, or until bread registers 190°F with an instant read thermometer.
Remove from the oven and turn out onto a baking rack. Cool completely.
Store completely cooled bread or rolls in well-wrapped plastic wrap at room temperature or freeze.
