PUMPKIN BREAD - THE BEST I'VE EVER TASTED!
When my son was in "Delightful Day" pre-school (he's 14 now) they had a Thanksgiving Day Feast. They served this recipe. However, instead of baking it into loaves they made mini muffins.To date, this is by far the best pumpkin bread/muffin I have ever had. Very easy to make and soooo moist! Such a pleasure to pass this along to everyone at this wonderful site! Enjoy! PS - This freezes great! Get a jump on holiday cooking!

Steps:
- Combine sugar, oil, and eggs; add pumpkin.
- Sift dry ingredients together, then add to pumpkin mixture.

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin purée. Fresh pumpkin purée will give your bread a more intense pumpkin flavor. You can make your own pumpkin purée by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor, or you can buy canned pumpkin purée.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest before baking. Letting the batter rest for 15-30 minutes before baking will help the gluten to develop and will give your bread a better texture.
- Bake the bread at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking pumpkin bread is 350°F. If you bake the bread at a higher temperature, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Let the bread cool completely before serving. Letting the bread cool completely before serving will help it to set and will make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. By following the tips above, you can make the perfect pumpkin bread every time.
