Roasted pumpkin cheese bread,has a texture of

a soft bun.

Pumpkin and cheese combination,is such that

it can be consumed plain.

This was made with fresh pumpkin,toasted in

the oven and puréed . This time I thought to

make a sticky dough,and succeeded to get a

super soft pumpkin bread .While roasting the

pumpkin I didn’t discard the seeds,or the skin.

I made the dough with the seeds .Puréed the

pumpkin with the skin on.The tint of the

pumpkin spread all over the bread seemed

lovely to the eye .

This is my own innovated recipe and

measurements!

Note: As I baked in a silicone bread mould ,I removed the baked bread from the mould and baked again for another 10 mins to get a crunchy crust all around .
