Pumpkin Cranberry Breadsticks

Anytime you pair Cranberries and Pumpkin you end up with a delicious recipe. I was researching recipes and found this one on a blog that I follow called Recipe Girl. I'll add this to our Thanksgiving and Christmas menus.

3/4 C Warm Water
1 - 25oz. package of instant dry or active dry yeast.
1 C canned Pure Pumpkin Purée.
1 TBS Honey
4 C FLour
1/2 C Dried Cranberries
8 TBS Butter, melted

In a small bowl:
Dissolve Yeast in Warm Water, set aside for at least 5 minutes.

In a Stand Mixer with a Paddle Attachment:
Dissolved Yeast
Pumpkin
Honey
Mix well.
Change to a dough hook in the Mixer.
Add:
3 C Flour
Mix to incorporate.
Add:
Cranberries
Mix to incorporate
Add:
Remaining Flour.
Knead the dough, with the dough hook, for 4 - 5 minutes.

Remove the dough to a floured surface..

Line 2 Sheet Pans with Parchment Paper.
Break off pieces of dough to roll into 6" - 8" logs, breadstick shapes as seen in the photograph above.
Cover the pans with dish towels and allow to rise in a warm place for 30 - 60 minutes.
Brush each breadstick with butter.
Bake 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove the pan to a rack to cool 5 minutes.
Serve warm with additional butter.

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
