Pumpkin―many ways
The pumpkin flavor in this loaf comes more from the pumpkin beer than it does from the actual pumpkin. But the puréed pumpkin keeps the bread moist while also―along with the pumpkin-seed topping―adding healthy fiber.
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Add beer and pumpkin purée and mix until all dry ingredients are incorporated. Pour dough into loaf pan and top with pumpkin seeds. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from loaf pan and place on wire rack, allowing to cool slightly. Best served warm with butter.
