Joannes Pumpkin Bread Recipes

THE BEST PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3-inch loaf pans.
• Mix together pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, water, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well blended. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger in a second bowl. Sift flour mixture on top of the pumpkin mixture and fold in with a spatula until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.

JOANNE'S PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small saucepan over medium heat until steamy. Stirring continuously, cook until pumpkin is stiff and starts to stick to the pan bottom, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; whisk in 3/4 cup water, then brown sugar, then oil, then eggs until smooth. In separate bowl, whisk together remaining dry ingredients, then fold into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Scrape batter into a 9" greased pan. Bake until firm and golden brown, about 70 minutes. Let bread stand until it is no longer hot, then turn onto a wire rack and let cool to room temperature and serve.
