"I needed bread and did not have anything in mind, so I played around and came up with this bread, which turned out really well. This is a light wheat loaf with the tasty accent of pumpkin seeds."

Absolutely beautiful bread, and so simple to make, too! I used my breadmaker, and added in 1/2 cup of Recipe #384672 for extra fibre. It rose beautifully, but lost a bit of volume when I was transferring it out of the rising basket to the peel to move onto the stone in hte oven. Next time I'll make it in a loaf pan so transferring it isn't necessary (I haven't quite been able to make the transfer from basket to oven flawlessly yet! This is definately going in my best of 2010 album! Thanks, Duonyte! Made for PRMR Tag. **Updated 01/29/10 and after using the dough cycle on my bread machine again, I used a standard bread pan and it turned out gorgeous!! (See photo.)

Wonderful rolls! Loved the texture of the pumpkin seeds! Nice color, and smells really good while baking. Served with Recipe#283851 and Recipe#388166. I shaped mine into rolls and baked for almost 25 minutes. I made as posted. Thank you for sharing duonyte.

Oh, what a divinely beautiful loaf! It rose so gorgeously high and has a light almost "floofy" taste. That's even after I increased the whole wheat flour by a cup. Thanks for a keeper, duonyte! (Note: I was out of vital wheat gluten but that didn't harm it at all. Cut the oil to 1 Tbsp.)

Another winner! This has a great flavor, with a light texture and crusty exterior. Went great with homemade chicken soup. I really liked the extra crunch from the pumpkin seeds.

I prepared 16 wonderful nice and tasty breads. <br/>I renounced to the gluten addidion and for the rest I followed the recipes as suggested.<br/>I let rise the rolls in the cold oven with light on as I usually do and works very well for me.<br/>I added some seeds for the decoration as I know that this is something that my children love very much. <br/>I love your recipes and I'm glad I tried this one!
