How to make it

  • In a large bowl, combine 1-1 / 2 cups flour, brown sugar, undissolved yeast, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
  • Heat water, pumpkin, and butter until very warm (120o to 130oF). Gradually add to flour mixture.
  • Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • Add egg yolk and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
  • Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough in half; reserve 1 / 2 for second owl.
  • Divide remaining dough into 2 equal pieces.
  • To make body, shape one piece into 7 x 5-inch oval.

  • With sharp knife, cut 2 (3 / 4-inch diameter) circles on head for eyes. Press 1 raisin in center of each circle.
