Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (210g) flour (I used wheat flour)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (1/4 L) pumpkin purée*
1/2 cup (1 dL) olive oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup water (I used a little less, since there was water added to my pumpkin when I pureed it)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice (I used cloves instead)

1/2 cup (1 dL) chopped walnuts (I skipped these)

I added 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

1 Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.

2 Mix the pumpkin, oil, eggs, 1/4 cup of water, and spices together, then combine with the dry ingredients, but do not mix too thoroughly. Stir in the nuts.

3 Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. (I used mini loaf pans & sprinkled the tops with turbinado sugar) Bake 50-60 minutes (30 minutes in mini pans) until a thin skewer poked in the very center of the loaf comes out clean. Turn out of the pan and let cool on a rack.

Makes one loaf. Can easily double the recipe.
