This is one of Paul's favorite bread recipes and is popular with everyone who tries it (provided you like pumpkin). Great to make as mini-loaves for birthday, thank-you, or holiday gifts.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup cooking oil
- 4 eggs
- 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin
- nuts as desired
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the side of two 9x5x3 inch, three 8x4x2 inch, or four 7 1/2x3 1/2x2 inch loaf pans.
Beat together sugar and oil with an electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs; beat well; set aside.
In a second bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Alternatively add flour mixture and water to sugar mixture, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Beat in pumpkin. Spoon batter into pans.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
