Pumpkin Bread
Description
This Pumpkin Bread recipe uses canned pumpkin puree with eggs, vegetable oil, and sugar as a moist base. Combined with all-purpose flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and kosher salt, the batter produces two 8.5 x 4 x 2.5 inch loaves baked at 350°F for about an hour.
The pumpkin pie spice mix contributes a blend of warm spices, delivering characteristic fall flavors. The baking soda acts as a leavening agent to give the bread lift and a soft texture. The oil and pumpkin moisture keep the crumb tender and moist throughout.
This bread slices well and can be enjoyed plain or with butter as a breakfast item or snack. The recipe's notes encourage creativity by adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for variation.
