Did I bake on valentine's day? you bet! I had wanted to make something fancy but decided on something simpler, something not at all romantic! Anyways, the motivation came from a can of pumpkin purée and I haven't baked pumpkin bread before.. further the recipe sub. butter with olive oil..hmmm another first for me. The exact experience needed for a novice like me!
At the time of typing this post, the pumpkin bread is still in the oven. The baking time needs 50-60 mins. In the meantime, fingers crossed . Because I have used extra virgin olive oil..wonder it would turn out too rich?
50 mins. 're up! The bread risen nicely (although sunken a little after cooling) ,the colour an appetising golden orange, moist and not too sweet, overall thumbs up from me.
Pumpkin Bread
1 1/2 cups (210g) flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (1/4 L) pumpkin purée
1/2 cup (1 dL) olive oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup (1 dL) chopped walnuts
(metric measurements in parentheses)
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda. Mix the pumpkin, oil, eggs, 1/4 cup of water, and spices together, then combine with the dry ingredients, but do not mix too thoroughly. Stir in the nuts. Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake 50-60 minutes until a straw poked in the very center of the loaf comes out clean. Turn out of the pan and let cool on a rack
