pumpkin stuffing pumpkin puree 200 g sugar 18 g cream cheese 50 g heavy cream 12 g
shape
proof 1 hour
bake at 162C/323.6F for 28 mins 10/14/2023: 350F * 43 mins (to hit 200F internal temp) 3/9/2024: baked at 350F *33 mins (28 mins was too short); then leave it in the turned-off oven
* 1 cup heavy cream = 3/4 cup milk + 1/4 cup butter * using a conventional instead of a convection oven, add 10 C and 2 mins in baking * 1st proof standard: poke a hole in the center and it doesn't collapse; 2nd proof standard: press on the surface and it bounces back up * 2nd proof needs to control for humidity and temperature, as the bread already lost some moisture from the 1st proof
