Pumpkin Bread Recipe!

So it seems that I'm making it a habit of only posting about movies and music. Understandable, seeing as how much I love them both and they are both integrated in my schooling and everyday life. But there is more to my interests that just those things. I actually love to bake. In high school, the only thing I knew how to make was lemon poppy seed bread (in a bundt pan) and my friend Janae made weekly requests for it!

I think its the methodic nature of baking that makes me love it so much. There's just something so fun and calming and organized about measuring everything out, mixing it and seeing something yummy come out in the end. So I thought I'd share a recipe with you! Here's a nice fall recipe and its one of my favorites! It's pretty simple, but super yummy. Enjoy :D

Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.

Mix the pumpkin, oil, eggs, water and spices together, then combine the dry ingredients, but too not mix too thoroughly.

Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake 50-60 minutes until a thin skewer poked into the very center of the loaf comes out clean. Turn out of the pan and let cool on rack.

Yields one loaf

Fun tip: if you want the bread to taste more cinnamon-y, double the amount of cinnamon. Tastes sooo good! This is one of my favorite things to bake because it just smells so damn good the whole way through! And it tastes good obviously ;P
