Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor, use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins have a sweeter, denser flesh that is perfect for baking.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Use fresh walnuts: Fresh walnuts will give your bread the best flavor. If you only have access to pre-packaged walnuts, toast them in a pan before using them.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: Baking the bread at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

New England pumpkin walnut bread is a delicious and festive fall treat. It is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With its moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and crunchy walnuts, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Plus, it's really easy to make!
