Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:

2 Cups Flourish Flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled-off

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1-1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened

2 cups sugar2

large eggs

1 15-oz can 100% pure pumpkin

Instructions: 

1.Preheat the oven to 325°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.

2. Generously grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans with butter and dust with flour (alternatively, use a baking spray with flour in it, such as Pam with Flour or Baker's Joy).

3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

4. Whisk until well combined; set aside.In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until just blended.

5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until very light and fluffy, a few minutes. Beat in the pumpkin. The mixture might look grainy and curdled at this point -- that's okay.

6. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined.

7. Turn the batter into the prepared pans, dividing evenly, and bake for 65 – 75 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Fresh out of the oven,the loaves have a deliciously crisp crust.

If they last beyond a day, you can toast individual slices to get the same fresh-baked effect.

Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
