Pumpkin Pie Bread

Category: Bread

1 1/2 lb loaf

1 cup pumpkin pie mix
2 eggs, large
4 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup raisins
1/2 cup toasted chopped pecans
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon fast-acting yeast

Place all the ingredients in your bread pan in the order listed. Select the Fast cycle. Open the lid after the machine has kneaded the dough for about five minutes. The dough should be formed into a very soft, sticky ball. If the dough is sticking to the sides or bottom of the pan you need to add a bit more bread flour. If the dough is crumbly-not in a ball or the ball appears firm-add more water. Check on you dough until you are satisfied that a soft, sticky ball has formed.
