Steam pumpkin until soft and blend them together with carrot juice.
Put all of the ingredients into a breadmaker starting from the wet ingredients.
Pumpkin carrot juice, an egg, milk powder, sugar, bread flour, yeast and salted butter.
Set to menu 7: Sweet Bread, weight: 500g, and crust: light setting to start the machine.The machine will start to operate and knead the dough
Let the machine run until the timer indicator reaches around 2 h and 40 minutes. The machine will give a light beep sound which indicates to us that it is time to add out melon seeds.
Now the next step is optional but I highly recommend you to do this as it will help the overall bread to rise nicely later. When the timer indicator reaches around the 1 h 25 minutes mark, take out your bread dough and also the machine's dough hook.
Quickly, press the dough onto a clean surface to remove all the air bubbles out and roll into a nice smooth ball.
Carefully put the dough back into the pan and let the dough proof for another 40 minutes.
Then, for that perfect look, brush some egg wash and sprinkle the melon seeds.
Let the machine run its thing until it finishes the setting.
Once baked, remove the bread from the tin immediately and let it cool on a wire rack while you brush some melted butter over the top for a nice shiny finish.
Slice it up and serve.
Notes
If you are baking it in the oven, I recommend using 450g of bread tin and bake it in the oven at 180C for around 35 to 40 minutes
