Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 0.33 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cups pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pieces egg (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, eggs, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm environment until doubled in size, about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal halves.

Step 7

Shape each half into a brioche loaf and place them into two greased loaf pans.

Step 8

Cover the pans with plastic wrap and let the dough rise again until it reaches the top of the pans, approximately 1 hour.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg for the egg wash and brush the tops of the loaves with it.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the brioche is golden brown and sounds hollow when lightly tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Slice the Pumpkin Spice Brioche and serve warm or at room temperature.
