Ingredients You’ll Need:
Directions to Bake the Perfect Pumpkin Bread:
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pans
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans with butter and dust them lightly with flour, or use a baking spray that contains flour.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
Step 3: Beat the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until well mixed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is fluffy. Mix in the pumpkin purée.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and fluffy.
Step 5: Pour and Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For the best texture, let the bread cool fully before slicing.
