Make pumpkin bread with me💕🍞
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda, sifted to eliminate lumps
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup extra light olive oil, (or vegetable or corn oil)
15 oz pumpkin purée
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Butter and lightly dust with flour, two 8 1/2"x4 1/2" bread pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt.
In a second medium mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 3 room temp eggs, 1 cup oil, and pumpkin puree.
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients then whisk together until smooth. Divide evenly between 2 prepared bread pans and bake at 350˚F for 45-55 minutes*, or until a toothpick comes out clean (my oven took 50 min). Let cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to fully cool. #pumpkin spice bread #pumpkin loaf bread #Lemon8Diary #breadmaking #homemade #homesteading
Pumpkin bread is a seasonal favorite, often associated with fall festivities and comfort baking. To elevate your loaf, consider experimenting with add-ins such as nuts or chocolate chips, which can enhance both texture and flavor. Additionally, pairing your bread with cream cheese or butter can create a delightful contrast. Timing is key in achieving the ideal bake; ensure your oven is fully preheated to avoid undercooked or uneven loaves. For a lovely aroma, cinnamon and nutmeg are spices that work wonders in this recipe, infusing warmth with every bite. Remember to always check your bread halfway through the baking time, as ovens can vary. Once baked, let the bread cool completely on a wire rack to maintain its moisture and texture. This pumpkin bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or frozen for longer preservation, making it a perfect make-ahead option for gatherings. Share the experience of baking with friends or family, and enjoy the quality time in your kitchen creating this delicious homemade treat!
