Pumpkin Bread Recipe

So tonight after I got back from work, I got bored and started looking up recipes for pumpkin bread because I was really craving some. I was expecting to be disappointed because I didn't have all the ingredients. I was right BUT I was able to make the bread still without everything and it still tastes pretty good :) It makes 3 loaves (about a 7x3 loaf bread pan thingy) and smells pretty good while cooking. 

Ingredients

1 can pumpkin puree (15 ounce)

4 eggs

1 cup veggie oil

2/3 cup water

3 cups white sugar

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

*The recipe I found also added 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves but I didn't have those so I didn't add them. 

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease and flour loaf pan(s). If you have more than one, use it. It'll make for quicker cooking. 

In a really large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until it's all blended. 

In a different bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger. 

Stir dry ingredients into the pumpkin mix until it's blended. 

Pour mixture into loaf pan about half way.

Put into the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Loaves will be done when whatever you have (toothpick, fork, knife) to stick in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. 

This was my very first time making bread and baking all on my own. So I know my bread looks  little funny but that's because I had to immediately take it out of the loaf pan so I could reuse it. 

I'm sure if I'd had all the ingredients and some others, it would have been a bangin loaf of bread. As it is, it's moist, pumpkany and yummy. It cured my craving from pumpkin bread and I now have breakfast for the next two weeks :)
