Pumpkin Bread: The full autumn flavor in box form

Ingredients for a box shape (25 x 10 cm, 1.5 l content):

300 grams of pumpkin meat (of your choice, we recommend Hokkaido pumpkin)
500 grams of wheat flour
1 pack of dry yeast
100 ml sunflower oil
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons honey
3 tbsp lukewarm milk
1 tsp salt
Pumpkin seeds at will

Preparation of pumpkin bread:

Peel the pumpkin if necessary. It is recommended, depending on the thickness of the shell, to peel Hokkaido. Chop the pulp and sauté with the water for about 3 minutes until it is soft. Then puree and let cool.
Meanwhile, put the flour in a large bowl, mix the dried yeast underneath, add honey, salt, milk and oil. If you want, you can now add roasted pumpkin seeds to the dough. Finally, add the pumpkin meat and knead well with a kneading. Begin at a low level and then switch to the highest level until a homogeneous dough is obtained.
Cover the dough and let it rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place. He should visibly enlarge during this time.
After the 30 minutes, knead the dough thoroughly again and form into an elongated dough.
Grease the box shape thoroughly and dust with flour. Put the dough in the mold. With a sharp knife cut lengthwise about 1 cm deep so that the dough can expand. Let go again for a short time.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees (top and bottom heat, gas level 3-4) and bake for about 30-35 minutes. Recirculation is not recommended.
At the end of the baking time, spread the roasted pumpkin seeds on top of the bread and press lightly.
