Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bread.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Mix well until the sugars are fully incorporated with the pumpkin puree.
- Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to the mixture and stir until fully combined. Then, crack in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Make sure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser bread.
- Once the batter is mixed, pour it into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top of the batter evenly.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- After baking, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the Pumpkin Spice Bread Twist and serve. Enjoy it plain, or spread with butter for an extra treat!
Tips
- • For the most tender bread, be careful not to overmix the batter - mix just until the ingredients are combined • Use fresh, high-quality spices to enhance the depth of flavor • Check the bread's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs • Let the bread cool completely before slicing to help it maintain its structure • Store the bread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container to keep it moist for up to 3-4 days • For extra indulgence, consider adding a cream cheese glaze or sprinkling some chopped nuts on top before baking
