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!
