Pumpkin Spice Liege Waffle Recipe
INGREDIENTS
Serving Size: 12 Pumkin Liège Waffles
- 2 cups French T55 bread flour
- 2 cups French T45 all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 generous pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 teaspoon SAF instant gold yeast
- 4 ounces butter
- 5 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup Waffle Pantry Belgian pearl sugar
DIRECTIONS
- Gently heat milk until lukewarm. Pour milk into a small bowl and add yeast. Allow several minutes for yeast to dissolve.
- Combine flour, eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, nutmeg and salt in large bowl.
- Add milk and yeast to the large bowl of ingredients to form the dough.
- Add butter (be sure it is at room temperature) to dough. The dough should become a little sticky in texture.
- Cover the bowl of dough and allow to rest for 2 to 3 hours. The dough’s volume should double.
- Once risen, sprinkle the pumpkin spice onto dough. Gently mix to allow the air to be released from within the dough. Avoid over mixing and you’ll be rewarded with pretty swirls of spice.
- Fold Belgian pearl sugar into the dough.
- Divide the dough into 12 roughly palm-sized balls and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Pre-heat waffle iron and add each individual dough ball to the machine once it has reached cooking temperature. Monitor for doneness and preferred golden color.
Serve alone, with a drizzle of pure maple syrup or a healthy scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Enjoy immediately or freeze for a treat all fall and winter long!
