hey try this pumpkin recipe,
Ingredients

* 600 grams pumpkin, peeled ad cut into 2cm pieces
* Olive oil
* 400 millilitres milk
* 20 grams fresh yeast
* 50-175 millilitres warm water
* 200 grams strong wholemeal flour
* 1 teaspoon sea salt
* Fresh ground pepper
* Pumpkin seeds for topping
* 600 grams strong white flour

Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 C. Place pumpkin in a roasting dish and drizzle with a little olive oil
and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast for about 30-60 minutes till tender and just starting to brown.
Set aside to cool a little. If desired mash roughly before adding to flour.

While pumpkin is roasting, bring milk to boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat and softly simmer until milk has reduced by half.
This took me quite a while and I had to tip it into my measuring jug to check how much it had
reduced and then back to saucepan to simmer a bit more. Cool to lukewarm.

Dissolve yeast in water and mix into milk. Place flours, salt and pepper in a large mixing
bowl and add milk mixture and roasted pumpkin. Add enough water
to make a soft dough and knead for 5 minutes. The recipe says to knead but leave some chunks of pumpkin.
(This just didn’t work well for me but I did like the idea of chunks of pumpkin in a bread and may try again.)
Add more flour if needed as you knead, especially if you have chunks of pumpkin squishing into your hands as you knead.

Place in oiled bowl, cover and leave in a warm place to double in size for about 1 hour. When risen, punch down and divide in two.
Make into long sausages and place in two greased loaf tins.

Cover, place in a warm place to rise for about 40-60 minutes until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 180 C.
Brush loaves with water or milk and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Bake 20 minutes or until golden and hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.
