Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200 grams of cooked pumpkin chunks
  • 120 grams (1/2 cup) milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 grams cream cheese, softened at room temperature
  • 30 grams sugar
  • 3 grams yeast
  • 300 grams all-purpose flour
  • 80 grams dried cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Puree:
    • Add 200 grams of cooked pumpkin chunks and 120 grams of milk to a blender.
    • Blend until smooth to form a puree.
  2. Add Eggs:
    • Crack in two eggs and blend again until fully combined.
  3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
    • Soften 100 grams of cream cheese by leaving it out at room temperature for one hour.
    • Add 30 grams of sugar to the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly.
  4. Combine Mixtures:
    • Gradually add the pumpkin and egg mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Start with a small amount to combine, then add the rest and mix well.
  5. Prepare the Dough:
    • Add 3 grams of yeast to the wet mixture.
    • Gradually add 300 grams of all-purpose flour in two batches, mixing well to form a dough.
  6. Let the Dough Rise:
    • Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).

  8. Prepare the Baking Container:
    • Grease your hands with a little oil and press down on the surface of the dough.
    • Fill your baking container (lined with parchment paper or a homemade paper box) only up to 40% full to allow room for rising.
  9. Second Rise:
    • Cover the container and let the dough rise again until it doubles in size.
  10. Bake:
  • Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
