Secret Recipe Club

Secret Recipe Club time again and I’m sharing a recipe for Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread! For those who haven’t seen my previous Secret Recipe Club posts, this club includes three group of bloggers who are assigned a different blog each month and secretly make a recipe to post on their specified Monday reveal day. I look forward to my assignment email every month and discovering new blogs. It is also fun to see what someone chooses from your blog. Unfortunately, this is the last reveal day for the club. It has been a wonderful 3 years!

Secret Recipe Club Banner- The Secret Recipe Club: Cook. Bake. Blog. & Share.

For this last reveal, I was assigned to Sarah’s blog- The Pajama Chef. Sarah features “healthy, delicious recipes with a side of indulgence” on her blog. Along with creating a wonderful assortment of recipes, she also works as an academic librarian and has a Masters in Library Science and a Master of Arts in African Studies. She currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, baby, and three cats. It was so hard to pick one recipe, but I finally decided on her Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread to keep with the season. I also pinned Sarah’s Freezer Breakfast Burritos, Cookie Dough Dip, Peanut Butter Pretzel Granola Bars, Cheesy Taco Muffins, Chaider, Pumpkin Cloverleaf Rolls, Teriyaki Meatball Bowls, Pumpkin Bagels, St. Lucia Buns, and Homemade Magic Shell for later.

This bread is quite delicious on its own, but Sarah also recommends toasting the slices and topping them with pumpkin butter or peanut butter (a favorite with the kids). Once the bread starts to become stale, it would be perfect as the base for French Toast or an overnight French Toast Casserole.

The recipe is easily halved if you want to make one loaf. I decided to split the dough four ways to make mini loaves using these Mini Loaf Pans.

I used store-bought pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling), but you can also make your own.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread recipe for Secret Recipe Club! This soft, pillowy pumpkin bread is filled with a cinnamon sugar swirl and warming spices for quite the delicious fall treat.
Course Bread
Cuisine N/A
Keyword autumn, bread, cinnamon, fall, pumpkin
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Resting Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Servings 2 Loaves

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (118 ml) lukewarm water 105-115˚F (40-46˚C)
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup (158 ml) lukewarm milk 105-115˚F (40-46˚C)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 15 ounces (425 grams) pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup (95 grams) light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 4 cups (540 grams) bread flour
  • 2 1/2 cups (325 grams) all-purpose flour

Filling:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup (95 grams) light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm water. Stir and allow to sit until frothy, 5-10 minutes.
  • Whisk in the milk, eggs, pumpkin puree, oil, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Mix in half of the bread flour until just combined, then the remaining bread flour. Once combined, fold in the all-purpose flour to bring together the dough.
  • On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Transfer to an oiled large bowl, turning to coat. Cover and allow to rest until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Grease two 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pans (or four smaller 6 inch/15 cm pans). In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
  • On a lightly floured surface, punch down the dough and divide in half (or four equal pieces if using smaller pans). Roll one half into a 9x11 inch (23x28 cm) rectangle. Spread half of the butter across the top, leaving a 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm) border around the edges.
  • Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Starting on the short-side, roll up the bread into a log. Seal the seam and sides by pinching together the dough. Place in the prepared loaf pan and repeat with other half of the dough.
  • Cover the pans and allow the loaves to rise until puffy and they reach the edges of the pans, 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Bake the loaves until golden and hollow sounding when tapped, about 30 minutes (closer to 20-25 minutes for smaller pans). Allow to cool before slicing.

    Oh that looks delicious! A great combo of flavours – pumpkin and cinnamon. I’d make bread and butter pudding with the leftovers for sure. What a shame the Secret Recipe Club has finished, it sounds like a great idea.
