Hello again, and welcome back to the Deviant Domestic!

It seems I will be becoming more domestic in the near future (though still fairly deviant), so I thought I ought to at least attempt to start posting again.  Thank you for bearing with me!

Today was a lazy day off.  As such, it is baking day.  BW (his first initials, but I am using them to signify "bread-winner" I think, given my new lower work load.) requested a loaf of fresh bread and "something with pumpkin" today.  Here, we have a fresh loaf of wheat bread, next to it's new best friend, pumpkin bread.  

I know... I really ought to leave them whole to take the pictures.

Here is the pumpkin bread recipe:

13/4 C flour

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 C sugar

2 eggs beaten

1 C fresh pumpkin purée

1/4 C water

1/2 C veg oil (or applesauce*)

Heat oven to 350 F.  Combine flour, soda, salt, spices, and sugar in a mixing bowl.  Add water, eggs, oil*, and pumpkin.  Stir until well blended.  Pour into one well greased loaf pan.  Bake for 1 hr, then cool completely on a wire rack.  Wrapping the bread in plastic once cooled, and allowing it to sit overnight will increase the melding of flavors! ...oops...

*applesauce will change the consistency, but not the flavor, of the finished product!

That's all I've got for now, see you again soon!
