Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 Large eggs, room temperature
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm milk (around 110°F)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Extra gluten-free flour for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Step 5

Gradually add the pumpkin and egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 6

Add the softened butter, a little at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth.

Step 7

Dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently for a few minutes, adding a little more flour if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to deflate. Transfer it to a greased loaf pan or shape it into a desired form on a baking sheet.

Step 11

Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the brioche is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
