MOIST PUMPKIN BREAD

To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
• 1⁄3 cup water
• 1 (15 ounce) pumpkin puree
• 1 3⁄4 cups plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

TOPPING:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1⁄4 cup pecans, chopped

DIRECTIONS :

• In a medium size bowl beat eggs and mix with sugar, oil, water and pumpkin.
• In another bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients only until just blended. Do NOT over mix.
• Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. This bread fits perfectly in an 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
• For topping: In a small saucepan mix butter, brown sugar and milk. Boil only 2 1/2 minutes while stirring constantly.
• Immediately drizzle on top of loaf. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and press pecans lightly into topping.
• Wrap and store until next day for serving. This will keep moisture inside. It is ok if bread “sweats” while wrapped.
