Pumpkin Sandwich Bread

Pumpkin Sandwich Bread

Super delicious, healthy Sandwich Bread made with millet flour and gluten free. I've used finger millet flour, sorghum flour and powdered oats. This is also a Vegan bread perfect for breakfast time. In India pumpkin is available for 365 days in a year. My friend Mrs.Lakshmi Shinde gifted me 1/2 kg of pumpkin. We South Indian's make Pumpkin Sambar, Kootu, curry etc. Even I like to make parathas, raita, pumpkin poori... The list goes on with pumpkin. Pumpkin Sandwich Bread is a perfect breakfast bread with peanut butter.

Notes:

* Sieve millet flour twice.

* Powder the oats.

* Proofing time may change. Summer started in India...it took less time for proofing.
