Bread Breakfast

Pumpkin Swirl Bread

Pumpkin Swirl Bread

This time of year I love baking.  Who am I kidding, I will bake any day of the year as long as I have a working oven and flour in the pantry.  Heck, even if the oven was broken, I would probably figure out how to bake on the grill or run next door to my neighbor’s house with a bowl of cookie dough, praying she will let me use her oven!

Bottom line…I love to bake.  But, there is something special about all those aromatic breads, cookies, scones, muffins, cakes, pies, tarts, biscotti, pastries…oh, sorry, I got carried away.  All those yummy baked goods filled with tons of spices, nuts and ingredients that just seem to mark the beginning of Fall and the holiday season.  Of course, you have all those wonderful apple and pear recipes that just scream Fall.  But, let’s face it, it’s all about the pumpkin.  I love making all my traditional recipes for pumpkin muffins, cookies and the like, but sometimes I like to get a little crazy and dream up something new.  Well, this recipe did just that.  I took a recipe I had for a pumpkin yeast bread and used it as the base for my Pumpkin Swirl Bread recipe.  I take this bread to the next level by filling it with nuts, butter, cinnamon and what else…chocolate!  Now, don’t get scared.  Give it a try.  When you take that first bite of the light, airy, pumpkin bread and then get that sweet surprise of the filling, I guarantee, you will be in pumpkin heaven.
