PUMPKIN BREAD

I got this recipe out of the food section of a 1974 edition of the "Chicago Tribune" newspaper. It is our favorite pumpkin bread and I have made it for family and friends many times over the years!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 3/4 teaspoon EACH: ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1 cup granulated sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup brown sugar shopping list
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (I like Libby's brand best) shopping list
- 1/2 cup oil shopping list
- 2 large eggs shopping list
- 1/4 cup water shopping list
How to make it
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 9X5 OR two 7X3 loaf pans. Line bottom(s) with parchment paper and grease paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat together granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, oil, and eggs. Slowly add flour mixture and blend well, but do not overmix. Add water and blend well. Pour into pan(s) and bake 65-75 minutes (less for smaller loaves) or until toothpick inserted in center(s) comes out clean. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.
- Note: Recipe is easily doubled using a 15 ounce can of pumpkin. Bread freezes well. Topping slices with whipped cream makes them taste like pumpkin pie!
