This is a brand new recipe this year. I wanted to try a really good pumpkin bread, not just a vaguely orange sweet loaf, and honestly the result is absolutely mind-blowing. My kids loved it, which is always the best test I know. What I love most is that it’s not too sweet: it’s just perfectly balanced, so you actually taste the pumpkin and the spices instead of just the sugar. Just one cup of golden brown sugar for the whole loaf, and that’s more than enough.<\/p>\n
This is where it all happens. Most recipes settle for cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg. I use five: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and especially allspice, which I had in my pantry and almost never shows up in a sweet bread. That blend is absolutely insane. It gives a warm, complex depth that makes you immediately recognize autumn at the very first bite, without any single spice hogging the spotlight.<\/p>\n
A lot of recipes pick one or the other. I use both, and it’s intentional. Vegetable oil keeps the bread moist and tender for several days, because it stays liquid even once it’s cooled down. Butter, on the other hand, brings that rich flavour oil will never deliver. By combining the two, you get the texture of one and the taste of the other. Serve yourself a slice at breakfast with plenty of butter on top and you’ll understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
