Ingredients
- 15 oz pumpkin puree $1.99
- 2 cups sugar* $0.78
- 2/3 cup oil $0.53
- 4 eggs $1.10
- 1 tsp vanilla $0.72
- 2/3 cup water $0.00
- 4 cups sifted flour $0.49
- 1/2 tsp baking powder $0.08
- 1 tsp baking soda $0.02
- 2 tsp salt $0.08
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice $0.10
- 1 tsp butter, for greasing $0.05
Instructions
- Place a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 350°F. Grease 2 loaf pans with butter. In a medium bowl, mix the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.
- In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and water.
- Add the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients.
- Mix the dry ingredients lightly into the wet, just until a batter forms. Small lumps are ok.
- Split the batter between the two greased loaf pans and smooth the top.
- Bake for about an hour, or until a knife inserted into the crack in the loaf's top crust hits the bottom of the pan and comes out clean.

Notes
- *While sugar is technically a dry ingredient, in some types of batters (like cake and quick bread batters), it is treated as a wet ingredient. Dissolving the sugar in the wet ingredients helps to weaken gluten-forming proteins, so you don't get chewy pumpkin bread.
