Savory Pumpkin Pecan Yeast Bread -Bread Machine Recipe

A couple weeks ago Ma said she was bored with the meals she'd been making and asked if I had any ideas for something new or different? Well, how about a turkey salad sandwich using this Pumpkin Pecan Yeast Bread:@) I was very pleased with the warm, seasonal flavors and this is one of the prettiest and most colorful loaves of bread I've made so far. This recipe makes a small one pound loaf of bread.
As with most bread machine recipes, look at the dough as it's kneading, 
you may need to add a tsp or two more water, or give it a light dusting of additional flour. 
We want it to make a nice smooth ball.
Still lovin' my little Zo bread machine folks, it gets a serious workout!

1/2 C pumpkin
2 Tblsp warm water-may need a little more
