Hello everyone. For this weeks breakfasts and snacks, I ve opted for a pumpkin and sunflower seed brioche bread. Its delicious. As always, I encourage you to give it a try.

INGREDIENTS

500g strong bread flour
14g fresh yeast
175ml milk
1 egg
40g butter (room temperature)
150g roasted pumpkin puree (roasted pumpkin is the best way to prevent it from releasing water)
90g sugar
40g honey
Pinch of salt
70g pumpkin seeds (lightly toasted)

INSTRUCTIONS

Warm the milk and add crumbled yeast, stir.
In the Thermomix bowl, add all ingredients except butter. Mix for
10 seconds / speed 4.
Let it rest for 20 minutes to hydrate the flour particles.
While kneading, gradually incorporate diced butter. Once its all integrated, stop for 5 minutes.
Then, knead for 2 minutes, rest for 5 minutes, and repeat this process three times.
Pour the dough into a lightly greased bowl and cover it. Let it rise (approximately 2 hours).
After rising, degas (remove the air created during proofing) by kneading by hand for a minute.

SHAPING AND BAKING

Option 1: Divide the dough into three equal portions, make balls, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Roll out each ball and roll up. Place them in a greased mold. Alternatively, shape it as a single piece.
Let the dough rise almost to the edge (about 1 hour).
Preheat the oven to 170°C with top and bottom heat.
Spray the dough with water. Also, spray the inside of the oven.
Bake the bread for about 35 minutes.
Turn off the oven and let the bread cool on a rack.
After 10 minutes, unmold and let it cool completely.
Now, its time to enjoy. Bon appétit!
