Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pumpkin purée gives the bread a moist and flavorful texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin purée, you can use canned pumpkin purée. Just make sure to drain the excess liquid before using.

- Let the bread cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
