Yield Makes 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shredded bran cereal (such as All-Bran)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups canned solid pack pumpkin
2/3 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Dust pans with flour. Combine first 8 ingredients in medium bowl; stir to blend well. Whisk eggs, sugar and buttermilk in large bowl. Add dry ingredients; stir to combine. Add pumpkin and oil; stir until blended. Divide batter between prepared pans.

Turn out loaves onto racks; cool completely. (Can be made ahead. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature 1 day or freeze up to 1 month.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bread. Look for whole wheat flour that is freshly milled and has a nutty aroma. You can also use a sourdough starter or yogurt to add a tangy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place: This will help the yeast to grow and produce a light and fluffy bread.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:
