OK, I admit that I tend to be a little on the modest side, and always criticize my food....and most other things that I do....but I made my famous Pumpkin Bread this weekend, and this bread is so delicious that I have nothing that I can change or criticize.  To me, this bread is the epitome of Autumn. The scent in my house when I am making this bread is so amazing, that I wish I could bottle it or make it into a candle fragrance for everyone to enjoy! This is a bread that is so perfectly spiced and so moist, that it is, by far is the best bread I have consumed in my life thus far. 

The only other thing that I can say about this bread is that you NEED to try it. If there is one thing this Autumn/ Winter season that I blog that you try out, it really should be this recipe.

Ingredients:

3 cups sugar (or 1 cup sugar and 1 cup brown sugar)

1 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 16oz can solid pack pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

3 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

This recipe makes 2 full loaves of bread.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make sure to butter and flour the pans so that your bread does not stick to the pans. Beat sugar and oil in a large bowl to blend, then mix in eggs and pumpkin. In a separate bowl, sift flower, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir half of the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients, and incorporate completely before adding the rest of the pumpkin mixture. Do not over mix, just make sure everything is combined. Put mixture into the 2 bread pans and cook for 70mins. Let cool before removing from pans.
