Notes
- You can substitute the buttermilk with 1/4 tsp lemon or vinegar + whole milk to fill a 1/4 cup. Let it sit for about 10mins before using
- Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl, so you don’t have any dry patches.
- Always mix till just combined. Do not over mix the batter or else the bread will be chewy
- Weigh your mixing bowl before you start the bread base. Then weigh again after making the bread base. The difference will be the weight of the bread base batter, which you can then divide in half by weight
- Pumpkin puree is not the same as pumpkin filling. Please make sure to get the correct ingredient 🙂
