Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

~ lindy

We’ve been working on this recipe to find a great tasting pumpkin bread with not a lot of sugar and I think we have finally got the recipe to where we like the texture and not overly sweet.  We hope you will give it a try and like it too!

The first pictures are taken of the less sugar and oil  and the pictures at the end are with more sugar and oil with the dark chocolate chips add to the bread batter.

I think you will agree the less oil and sugar recipe looks more healthy  too.

*2 cups Wheat Flour or White Wheat Flour

*
Combine the heated milk and shortening.  Then add sugar, eggs and salt mix until just combined.

*1/2 Jar 16 ounce Marmalade

*Brown Sugar, for sprinkling

*
In a stand mixer, mix 8-10 minutes, using a dough hook until a slightly sticky ball of dough.  Add extra flour if needed but dough should be slightly sticky. (You can also mix and knead the bread dough by hand.)

*
After  mixing / kneading the bread, cover with a damp cloth and let rise 1   1/2 hours or until doubled in size. Roll out dough and spread: shortening/butter over rolled out dough, marmalade and brown sugar sprinkled on top.

*
Begin with the long side of the rolled out dough with filling and big enough to roll towards the opposite long side, like a jelly roll.

*
Cut into 1 inch rolls with dental floss or knife. Place cut rolls on a half baking sheet and let rise until double in size or about 35 minutes placing in a warm spot like a sunny window and covering rolls with a slightly damp cloth. (I used 2 pans (15 x 10  1/2 and 13 x 9  1/2) and I doubled this recipe.)

Pre-heat oven to 350* F. and bake Marmalade Sweet Rolls 18-20 minutes at 350* F.
