Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup low-fat milk
• 1 egg
• 2 egg yolks
• 0.25 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and pumpkin pie spice and mix well.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, low-fat milk, egg, egg yolks, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a log that fits snugly into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and let rise again until it reaches the top of the pan, about 30 minutes.

Step 9

Place the risen loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Allow the brioche to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
