Great Harvest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread or Muffins - A Bountiful Kitchen

Ingredients
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups vegetable or canola oil
1-15 oz can Libby's pumpkin* see recipe notes about Libby's not pumpkin pie filling
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips


Instructions
Place the rack in the center of the oven, and generously grease and line the bottom of two loaf pans with parchment or wax paper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place eggs in a mixing bowl. Beat for about 1 minute on medium speed. Add sugar beat again for 1 minute. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Add the oil to the mixture in the bowl while the mixer is on low. Add the pumpkin and vanilla and mix on medium until all wet ingredients are mixed well. This takes a few seconds. Turn mixer off.

Place the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, spices and chocolate chips into the bowl with the pumpkin mixture. Mix just until the wet and dry ingredients are incorporated on low, scraping down sides of bowl a coule of times during process.

Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pans.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted in center of loaf comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. The center should not be shiny or wet looking.
Remove from oven. Let sit for 5 minutes in pan. Loosen sides of loaf if necessary with butter knife. Remove from pan and cool completely.

Recipe Notes:

Important note regarding pumpkin. I prefer Libby's pumpkin over other brands. Do not use organic pumpkin in this recipe if you want the rich darker color as pictured. I have experimented using a store brand "Organic Pumpkin" and was very disappointed in the finished product. The color is light orange, not the rich color you will get if using Libby's. The texture is also slightly different when using organic pumpkin. Not quite as dense. Use Libby's, trust me on this! If you want your loaves to look like Great Harvest, use Libby's.

I make a liner for the loaf pan by placing parchment or wax paper under the pan and tracing around the bottom of the pan. Cut the paper on the line. Place the paper in the bottom of the loaf pan and spray sides of pan (only half way up) and bottom (on top of the paper liner) generously with cooking spray. If you spray the pan all the way to the top, your loaf will have an edge that rises above the center of the loaf.
I bake in 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 pans. When I place the batter in the pans, they fill the pans over 3/4 full. There is about a 1/2 - 3/4 inch space to the top of the loaf pan. You may use any size of loaf pan, just fill about 3/4 full.

This recipe will easily yield 3 smaller loaves. Adjust the baking time to 45 minutes then check to make sure loaf is set. You may also make muffins. Fill the muffin tins lined or unlined about 3/4 full and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched!

Divine Breadsticks- Mels

INGREDIENTS:

DOUGH:
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 cups flour, about 15-20 ounces (can use white whole wheat flour- a bit more heartier and slightly more dense)

BUTTER AND TOPPING:
3 tablespoons butter, melted (for the baking sheet)
Dried herbs, garlic salt and grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS:

In an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (or in a large bowl by hand), mix together the water, yeast, sugar, salt and one cup of the flour.
Continue adding the flour until the dough just clears the sides of the bowl; knead for about three minutes. It should be soft and slightly sticky without leaving a lot of residue on your fingers.
Let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes.
While the dough rests, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the melted butter onto large, rimmed baking sheet (about 11X17-inches).
On a lightly greased countertop, pat the dough into a long rectangle, about 16-inches by 7-inches or so. Cut the dough every 1-inch (more or less) into strips with a pizza cutter.
Twist each strip slightly and place about 1/2-inch apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with dried herbs of choice, garlic salt and Parmesan cheese.

Let rise for 20 minutes (you can cover with greased plastic wrap, if desired, I usually go without). Bake for 15 minutes until golden.

Ali Poulsen Bread Recipe

I've been happy with my bread recipe...I've combined a few different recipes to come up with one I like.
http://johansonrecipes.blogspot.com/search/label/Breads.

I haven't updated the recipe recently, so I do have a few tips to add.
I sometimes just use dough enhancer, and sometimes use both dough enhancer and wheat gluten...I can't say that I've noticed a huge difference either way.
I like to add oats (old fashioned), flax seed, and chia seed to my bread. If you're inclined to add any of these things, you can add the oats directly into the main ingredients. When adding the seed ingredients, I put them into a cup or bowl with hot water and let them soak while combining the rest of the initial ingredients; then I add them and mix everything together. The hot water I use to soak the seeds is in addition to the 4 cups called for in the recipe.
When adding the salt and final flour, add just enough flour to get the dough just beyond tacky...just so it doesn't come off on your finger when you touch it. The bread is a lot more moist the less flour you add.



Oven: 375 degrees
Bake for 35 minutes
Yields 4 regular-sized loaves

13 cups wheat flour
4 cups water
3 Tbsp. gluten flour (dough enhancer)
1/2 cup oil
3/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp. yeast
4 tsp. salt

Optional ingredients:

1/3 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup multi-grain cereal
1/3 cup potato flakes

Combine 6 cups flour and dry yeast; add oats or potato flakes, if desired. (If adding the multi-grain cereal, let it soak in hot water for a little bit before adding it to the other ingredients.). Add water, oil, and honey, and mix well. Cover and let batter sponge (rise) for 15 minutes, which makes lighter bread with less kneading. Add salt and remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, until dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl (the amount of flour needed may vary). Knead 5-7 minutes by machine, or 10-12 minutes by hand, until dough is smooth and elastic. Divide dough into equal portions. Shape into loaves and place in greased bread pans. Cover with light cloth and let rise until almost double (about 30 minutes). Bake in preheated oven. Remove from pans and let cool on wire racks.

2eggs
2T. Sugar

Mix this all together

Add
