Sweet pumpkin bread ingredients:
1 1/2 cups (210 grams) flour,
1/2 teaspoon of salt,
1 cup (200 grams) of sugar,
1 teaspoon of baking powder,
1 cup (1/4 liter) pumpkin puree*,
1/2 cup (1 deciliter) of olive oil,
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup (0.5 deciliters) of water,
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg,
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon,
1/4 teaspoon allspice (dried, ground pimento “berries”),
1/2 cup (1 deciliter) chopped walnuts.
Preparation:
To make pumpkin puree, cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, bake on a (foil-covered) baking sheet with the flat side facing down. Bake at 180°C until soft (45 minutes to 1 hour). Let it cool and then puree.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350F). Sift flour, salt, sugar and baking powder together.
Mix the pumpkin puree, oil, eggs, water and spices and slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixture. At the end, add chopped walnuts.
Pour the mixture into a well-greased loaf pan (9x5x3 inch). Bake for 50-60 minutes (check with a toothpick if it’s done – I use a fireproof baking dish, so it takes a little longer to bake). Take it out of the mold while it’s hot and let it cool (although I like to “pop” it directly from the oven).
