I saw a recipe for pumpkin bread in the oven on the website and wanted to make it. I had all the necessary ingredients, except walnuts and ginger. I didn't replace them with anything. I used category C1 eggs. I got 220 grams of pumpkin puree, I added it all to the dough. The amount of flour used was the same as indicated in the recipe. The dough turned out to be quite thick in consistency. My oven was busy, so I baked the bread in a bread machine for 1 hour in a small bowl. The bread turned out beautiful and bright. In addition, it is very fragrant. It has a soft, moist and tender crumb. The taste of the bread is unusual, it’s even hard to find a comparison. It is a little sweet, but not like a sweet pastry for tea. The pumpkin flavor is not noticeable. Next time I want to try it with walnuts, I think it will be even more interesting. Julia, thank you for the interesting and tasty recipe!
