I adapted a recipe I saw on public television to create this caramel-coated pumpkin bread. It makes an impressive hostess gift or bake sale contribution. My young ones love to help roll the dough and cream cheese into balls.-Angela Coffman, Kansas City, Missouri

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup 2% milk

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup

1 cup chopped pecans, divided
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cut into 18 pieces

Pour half of the mixture into a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan; sprinkle with 1/2 cup pecans., Punch down dough; divide and shape into 18 balls. Flatten and wrap each ball around a piece of cream cheese, pinching to seal. Place nine balls in prepared pan; top with the remaining brown sugar mixture and pecans. Top with remaining balls. Cover with a kitchen towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°., Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool in pan 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
