Inspired by both the fall and my favorite Quest for Glory game that had garlic and avocado sandwiches made on pumpkin wheat bread, I wanted to make my own pumpkin wheat bread in my bread machine...that's an actual yeast bread made with pumpkin, not a quickbread or sweet type of tea loaf. Hence, the coriander for savory flavor instead of cinnamon or the other traditional pumpkin pie spices. Sage or thyme would make nice additions to this bread too that go with pumpkin. I use my own homemade bread flour that's AP flour and vital wheat gluten, and I always have lots of canned pumpkin on hand no matter what time of year it is! Prep time is the dough cycle, mine takes about 90 minutes.
