It started back in August with some #cakelove. In September I added some #ricelove dishes to my dinner menu. In October I drooled over some amazing #applelove recipes.
I was secretly having my fingers crossed hoping this month there will be some #pumpkinlove shown in the blogosphere. And guess what? This month theme is pumpkin/squash love! Hooray!! Excuse me for saying again but I LOVE pumpkin and winter squash <3
This monthly event is hosted by Bakerstreet, Bloc de Recetas, Bon a Croquer, Cafe Terra Blog, Cake Duchess, Elephant Eats, Food Wanderings, Georgie Cakes, Hobby and More, Mike’s Baking, Mis Pensamientos, My Twisted Recipes, No One Likes Crumbley Cookies, Queen’s Notebook, Simply Reem, Skip to Malou, Teaspoon of Spice, The Daily Palette, The Professional Palate, The Spicy RD, Vegan Miam.
I made this bread few days ago, inspired by a photo Rachel (La Fuji Mama) shared on Instagram. While I was waiting for her to share the recipe I made my own version. I’m gonna try her recipe too, until then this what I came up with.
I roasted my own pumpkin but you can use canned one if you prefer. The sweetness provided by the pumpkin is not overwhelming. I named the bread coconut-pumpkin because the coconut flavor takes over the pumpkin one. If you’re not into coconut as much as I’m but still want to make this bread, you can replace half of the cultured coconut milk with water or milk and the coconut oil can be replaced with olive oil or butter.
The quantities listed below make 3 loaves. If you’re wondering what I did with all of them, let me show you a hint
Coconut Pumpkin Bread (vegan)
Ingredients
2 envelopes/14 grams dry yeast
1/3 lukewarm So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk beverage
2 cups puree roasted pumpkin
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup melted Kelapo coconut oil
2 cups So Delicious cultured coconut milk
4 cups whole wheat flour
5 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
In your stand up mixing bowl add the lukewarm coconut milk. Sprinkle the dry yeast on top and wait until it dissolves and it is foamy.
Meanwhile sift together the flours and salt. Set aside.
Now add to the yeast mixture the puree pumpkin, coconut milk, cultured coconut milk and stir until incorporated. Slowly add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour at a time until the dough comes clean from the sides of the bowl.
Place it into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic foil and leave until doubled in volume. Should take somewhere between 1 hour and 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Divide the dough in three balls and place them on baking sheets. Cover again and let rest for another half an hour. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375F.
Just before baking the bread, with a sharp knife make few slashes on the sides of the dough to allow it to rise while baking.
Bake for about 40 minutes. Let it cool and enjoy!
Sending love your way,
Roxana

I would never think about combining pumpkin and coconut! This bread looks so tasty!
Great recipe! What a great combination of pumpkin and coconut!
You are amazing when it comes to making bread! Glad you got creative instead of waiting on the recipe from Rachel. Wish I had received one of those extra loaves-I am sure it has an awesome flavor and texture.
Beautifully taken pics makes the bread look even more special!

This looks fabulous! I love coconut and I think pumpkin does great with it. I like your creativeness…I've never heard of coconut bread, let alone coconut pumpkin bread, so this sounds awesome!
What a perfect little gift to show some love! Beautiful photographs!
How interesting! This looks like bread with a consistency as dense as the German breads I'm used to – and I've never had that sort of bread with pumpkin or coconut! I've been on a total coconut high lately, I'm really intrigued by this recipe
I agree with Emily. This is definitely a perfect little treat for someone you love. Adorable and delicious!
Really Amazing idea, Roxy! I can imagine the aroma of your bread, and your pictures are fantastic!
I have to say I did make my bread as a gift for few people last year, and I think I will do it this year too! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Wow – that looks absolutely incredible! I love the idea of coconut and pumpkin together!
Gorgeous presentation, I adore the packaging and wrapping as a gift. The flavor combination is divine.
Love your presentation here!
How you come up with the idea of coconut and pumpkin together. I'm imagining the flavor and already crave for a bite (or more actually). It's always "mystery" to me how people come up with a bread recipe from scratch. Because you have to work with imagination since you can't see the result until you bake it. Beautiful bread and too bad I can't have a piece~~!
Your bread is gorgeous, as always. Buzzed it! I too am loving all the wonderful pumpkin recipes out there.
What a pretty loaf – and a great idea to share for the holidays. I am a coconut lover, and would love to try this recipe.
i'm so glad that you decided to join us for #squashlove! wow coconut and pumpkin are a flavorful combo!
have a wonderful day roxana. ps – do u want to be a part of our #lovebloghop email list? send me a DM on twitter if yes!
Humm, this sounds and looks delicious. I love coconut but never thought about adding it to bread before. Genius
Your coconut pumpkin bread sounds wonderful! I have used coconut as a filling but not the milk in the bread. I will have to try it soon.
Wow Roxana, what a different bread! I would never have thought to make coconut and pumpkin bread – it looks absolutely scrumptious!
Mandy
Fantastic bread! I'm sure the coconut was an incredibly sneaky contribution as well, sounds genius
Roxana, I love how you packaged it with a pretty orange bow. It looks so beautiful like that! Have a wonderful weekend!

The bread is gorgeous. I think you did an incredible job coming up with the recipe from looking at a photo. Wow.

Pumpkin bread with coconut? I think I'm in heaven!!! Fabulous, Roxana…hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Roxana-Your bread is so exotic with the coconut addition, and so unique, delicious, and a perfect loaf of bread!
Thank you for offering to guest post; will sure to be asking you for the next time when I will leave town!
I left you 2 comments previously, from our 2nd hotel stay, at their lobby's computer, but for some reason it didn't indicate that it went through!

Thanks for the virtual trip to the tropics, Roxana.
Thanks for a great recipe in which I can use some of that roasted pumpkin we have and also some of that wheat flour of which we have tons!
