Soft Pumpkin Sandwich Bread

In the quest to gain independence as much as we can from processed foods, and taking control of what we're eating, we've been refining and honing those fabulous bread-making skills. And not just any old breads, but interesting baked goods incorporating as much as we can from what's around us seasonally.

Now, we're looking at how to use pumpkin just about everywhere we can, and baked goods recipes seem like a very natural fit. If you're new to the world of yeast, don't let that stop you from throwing your hand into the ring and testing out new recipes - there's no time like the present to get your hands into a pumpkin-everything making extraordinaire!

Color palettes aside, adding pumpkin to your favorite recipes is a great way to include extra nutrients and vitamins that our bodies will always need, and be thankful for. Not the mention the taste buds, which are the happy side effect-recipients in this case. Using a simple-to-whip-up fresh pumpkin purée, this soft, fluffy bread is great to eat fresh, and if you've got too much on your hands (very unlikely, but just in case!), this quick pumpkin bread recipe is a great freezer-friendly item too.
