MOIST PUMPKIN BREAD
VERY MOIST pumpkin bread with special topping. This makes a very nice gift-giving bread. You can make it all year long because it uses a can of 100% pure pumpkin puree. I use Libby's brand. The spices are just right in this recipe and enhance the flavor of the pumpkin. It's best served after it has mellowed for one day. A family favorite.

Steps:
- In a medium size bowl beat eggs and mix with sugar, oil, water and pumpkin.
- In another bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients only until just blended. Do NOT overmix.
- Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. This bread fits perfectly in an 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
- For topping: In a small saucepan mix butter, brown sugar and milk. Boil only 2 1/2 minutes while stirring constantly. Immediately drizzle on top of loaf. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and press pecans lightly into topping.
- Wrap and store until next day for serving. This will keep moisture inside. It is ok if bread "sweats" while wrapped.
RICH, MOIST SECRET INGREDIENT PUMPKIN BREAD
This is my favorite pumpkin bread recipe. It is very different from other pumpkin breads because it calls for some unusual ingredients that make it special. I almost always use freshly cooked and mashed pumpkin in this - I like to use a small pie pumpkin, which I cut into quarters, seed, and steam until tender, then remove the peel and mash. But I have used plain canned pumpkin as well - just don't accidentally use pumpkin pie filling - you need the plain puree. Prep time assumes you already have some pumpkin puree handy. The extra loaf freezes well. I have been making this for years, but originally found this in one of the "Best of the Best" series of US regional cookbooks.

- Add oil, sugar, pumpkin, and vanilla to the eggs and mix well.
- Combine wet mixture with flour mixture gently by hand,pressing out any large lumps with your spoon, just until ingredients are moistened- do not overmix.

- Cool in pan 10 minutes then let cool completely on wire racks- don't skip of your loaves will fall apart.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin or a small pie pumpkin, which have a sweeter flavor and a denser texture that is perfect for baking.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bread a more intense flavor and a more moist texture. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to choose one that is unsweetened.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: A moderate temperature will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dry.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Letting the bread cool completely will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and warm spices, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give pumpkin bread a try.
