    Seeded Pumpkin Bread Sticks

    Oct 4, 2018 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Sep 10, 2021

    Jump to Recipe

    These Seeded Pumpkin Bread Sticks are like mini baguettes. Their pretty colour and delicious taste make them the perfect bread for your Thanksgiving table!

    While I am calling these bread sticks, they are actually mini baguette loaves, so each one will server several people. With the recipe making 6 sticks, you can definitely feed a crowd with these.

    Looking for a festive and pretty bread for your Thanksgiving table? These Seeded Pumpkin Bread Sticks are mini baguettes and each one will serve 3 or 4 people. They'd look great on your holiday table, piled up in a big wooden bowl or standing in a bucket. Or just wrap them in twine and use them to decorate your table!

    The colour of the dough from the pumpkin is fabulous and together with the seeds (both in the dough and on top!), these loaves are sure to impress your guests, while being super easy to make.

    Cook's Notes

    Be sure to add your flour gradually, as needed, to keep a moist dough. As the pumpkin adds a lot of moisture and will vary in moisture from brand to brand, just keep adding as much flour as you need until your dough is no longer sticky.

    Your rising time will vary, depending on the warmth of your kitchen.

    If you're not making these bread sticks for a larger gathering, freeze them individually, then you can pull one out whenever you like. One bread stick is the perfect size for a single family meal, as it will serve 3 or 4 nicely.

    I have used SAF Brand Instant Yeast here, my yeast of choice, which is fine to add right into the other ingredients. If you prefer to use active dry yeast, you may want to proof it in the 1/2 cup of lukewarm water for 5-10 minutes, then add into the bowl.

    Course Bread
    Servings 6 bread sticks

    Ingredients
     

    For the bread:

    • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
    • 2 tsp instant yeast
    • 2 Tbsp honey
    • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
    • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
    • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour, plus more as needed
    • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
    • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
    • 1 Tbsp flax seeds
    • 2 tsp salt

    For the topping:

    • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • 1/4 cup pepitas, pumpkin seeds
    • 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
    • 2 Tbsp sunflower seeds
    Prevent screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the pumpkin puree, yeast, honey, water, vegetable oil and 1 cup of the flour. Mix until combined. Stir in the seeds and salt, then switch to the kneading hook. Gradually add 2 cups more flour, kneading to incorporated and adding more as needed until you have a smooth and moist dough, that is not sticky or too dry. Remove dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled, about 60-90 minutes.
    • Remove dough to a floured surface and gently deflate. Divide dough into 6 equal portions and form into a log 1 1/2 inches wide and 12 inches long. Place onto a large, lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough pieces, placing sticks a couple of inches apart on the sheet. Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.
    • Preheat oven to 400F.
    • Brush rolls with lightly beaten egg, then sprinkle with pepitas, poppy seed and sunflower seeds.
    • Bake in preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped. Remove to a cooling rack to cool.

      Hi Jennifer,
      I love making this bread, I would like to ask if I can make 6pcs of bun instead of a stick?

      Hi Jennifer,

      I only have dried active yeast. I would like to ask if I will still use 2 tsp dried active yeast to 1/2 cup of warm water? Lastly do I have to add sugar to the warm water? Thank you.

        Hi Anne, No worries. Simply proof it separately in warm water with a bit of sugar. Use a bit more for dry active - about
        2 1/4 tsp should work just fine. Enjoy!

          Thanks Jennifer! I made this bread sticks today. I reduced the warm water to 1/4 cup and used the other 1/4 cup to prove the yeast. I baked it at 200C, then I noticed that within 15 minutes the bread are turning really brown. So I decided to turn it off and leave the bread inside the oven for another 5 minutes. Turned out really nice and fluffy! This recipe is highly recommended! I will make this again and again and again!!! Thanks again Jennifer!

      Do you have measurements for the seeded pumpkin breadsticks in grams or ounces?
      I am definitely making!

        Hi Lisa, I'll go in and have the recipe card calculate the metric. Sometimes it comes out wonky, which is why I don't use it at the moment, so check carefully anything that looks out of whack :) Enjoy!

      With that bright, rich colour and the pumpkin flavour, this would be such a lovely addition to our Thanksgiving menu! I could definitely fill up on a few of these smeared with butter :) Hope you have a great weekend, Jennifer!
