Add 1/2 cup sugar (substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a more caramelized look and flavor), pumpkin puree, 4 1/2 cups of the flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves for bread. Beat at medium speed until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes. If needed, add additional flour to form a smooth and moist (but not sticky) dough, beating an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Add softened butter and mix until just combined.
