Pumpkin Loaf with Pumpkin Seeds 满满南瓜子的南瓜土司

Lucius已经泻肚子泻了两个星期，整个人缩水了不止一圈，看了很好心疼。前后看了两次医生，好转后又再来。今早再去看医生，医生要求拿他的便便去化验，我只能祈祷希望不是什么可怕的病毒。

因为泻肚子医生嘱咐不能吃高纤维的食物，包括南瓜。所以，冰箱里本来买给他吃的南瓜剩下大半粒有多，我蒸了一些自己吃，顺带蒸多一点来做面包。

没有特地去找南瓜面包的食谱，就想做时刚好看到ccm分享的南瓜土司，所以就采用了ccm的食谱。食谱里南瓜泥的含量还蛮高的，正好可以帮忙消耗南瓜。

我用面包机打面团，打了一个cycle加10分钟，但面团还是很粘手，我不管就直接让它发酵。发酵好的面团比较不粘手，但还是需要手粉。

我在面包表面撒上满满的南瓜子，烤熟后外脆内软，很香很好吃。面包带有淡淡天然的甜味，南瓜的味道并不明显。

金黄色的卖相很诱人，就是不满意它的形状。Angel没有土司模，做土司都是用9”x5”蛋糕模，做出来的都是土司都是矮矮，胖胖的。越看就越想马上拥有一个土司模，还是要带盖的，还没做过正方形的土司呢！

面包当天柔软得很，放在室温隔天还是软软的，不过似乎不是家里两老的菜，妈妈直说她还是比较喜欢牛油味重的（例如这个和这个）。我跟妈说啊，这个比较健康。

Pumpkin Loaf with Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients:
130g pumpkin puree (steamed pumpkin and mashed with a fork)
140g milk (I used cold milk)
2 tbsp honey (I used 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp sugar)
½ tsp salt
350g bread flour (I used 310g bread flour and 40g plain flour)
1 tsp instant yeast
20g butter, soften (I used 26g)
Beaten egg for egg wash
Pumpkin seeds
Optional: Additional butter for brushing

Method:
Straight method - please refer to here.
 - Apply egg wash and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds before baking.
 - Brush the top with butter once the bread out from the oven (optional).

Tips:
1) Steam the pumpkin with skin; it is easier to remove cooked pumpkin skin than raw one, just scrape with a spoon or fork will do.
2) I like Australia pumpkin as it is nuttier but the price is 3 to 5 times of local pumpkin (from Malaysia). If I can’t get hold of Australia pumpkin I will buy local pumpkin with green skin, I find that the texture is closer to Australia one. From my observation, the orange skin one tends to have more mushy flesh
3) Do not add all the milk at one shot, reserve 2 tbsp and add in later if the dough is dry.
