Straightforward Pumpkin Caramel

This caramel topping for the pull-apart bread is straightforward to make, and there’s no thermometer concerned!

Measuring Flour:

All through my recipes posted on this web site, 1 cup of flour equals 142g. Please be aware that 1 cup of flour can vary anyplace from 120g to 142g, relying on the baker or web site. I discovered that after weighting many cups of flour and averaging the full, mine all the time ended up round this quantity. If I’m posting a recipe from one other cookbook, I’ll use no matter gram measure of flour utilized in that guide, which is why you might even see a number of posts with a special cup measurement. 

Totally different manufacturers of flour have various ranges of protein, starting from low to excessive, which may end up in very completely different outcomes when baking. I’ve discovered Gold Medal all-purpose unbleached flour to be the best choice for a lot of of my recipes; I take advantage of it in all of the baked items that don’t use yeast. For yeasted doughs that decision for all-purpose flour, I like to make use of King Arthur Model. In case you are utilizing White Lily flour, please be aware that it’s a low protein flour and doesn’t take up liquid the identical as common all-purpose flours. Test the again of the flour bag for directions on substituting it for normal all-purpose flours.
