I love bread and this is a good recipe.

What is one of your favorite foods?

I like pumpkin bread, too!  I use a recipe that I got in one of those '50 Ways to...' booklets from the Food Network Magazine.

I also make a pumpkin bundt cake that I love.  That recipe isn't mine either.  It's a Betty Crocker recipe that, IIRC, somebody posted here several years ago.

Yum!!! Love Pumpkin Bread. The Penzey's cinnamon & cloves smells heavenly. DH made 2 loaves last month. He used shortening this time. I just made 2 loaves about 2 weeks ago & I used butter. I thought it was better made with real butter instead of shortening.

I use a recipe from my old Betty Crocker cookbook.

DH had changed the shortening to canola oil years ago. He was using 1 c. I don't use Canola oil anymore so I use butter. I asked DH how he came up with 1 c Canola oil since it lists 2/3 c shortening & he said he did not know. LOL!!! It still turned out really good. I still think less oil like using 2/3 c is better then using a whole cup.

Pumpkin Bread

2/3 c shortening (I use butter)

2 2/3 c sugar

4 eggs

1 can pumpkin (1 lb)

2/3 c water

3 1/3 c all purpose flour

2 tsp soda

1 1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cloves

1 c chopped walnuts

Heat Oven to 350° Bake 70 mins or until toothpick comes out clean

Grease 2 -  9 x 5 x 3 loaf pans or 3 - 8 x 4 x 2.5 or 8 - 5 x 3 x 2 tinfoil pans

In large bowl mix oil & sugar, stir in eggs, pumpkin & water

Blend in flour, soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon & cloves

Stir in nuts

@HB glamma, I think I already put it in here once before, so if you go up to the "search forums & Blogs 2 boxes up not counting autsaved box, & type in pumpkin bread, a bunch should show up, just look for my name on one of the paragraphs.

My next post please, I'll be back in on Friday and post for you.

@HB glamma, I searched in case I could find it and pass it along, but I didn't see it. I'll come back in on Friday, and post it for you.

@Nightowlz  Your recipe looks yummy.

I have a family recipe that makes 3 loaves.  It calls for oil, and has the addition of ginger and nutmeg as well.  Always a hit at work and church get togethers.  I'd make it more often but I'd probably eat all the 3 loaves!
