Equipment

  • bread machine
  • food scale

Ingredients

The following is for a 2lb loaf. For other sizes, simply adjust the ratio of ingredients up or down.

Bread

  • 150g or 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 72g (approx. 80mL) vegetable oil
  • 5g (1 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 240g (1 cup) canned pumpkin puree
  • 103g (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 2.5g (1/2 tsp) salt
  • 260g (2 cups) all purpose flour
  • 9g (3 tsp) baking powder
  • 5.5g (1 tsp) baking soda
  • 4g (2 tsp) pumpkin pie spice
  • 2g (1 tsp) ground cinnamon

Mixins

  • 72g (2/3 cup) walnuts, cut into 1/4” (6mm) pieces (optional)

Steps

  1. Add all “Bread” ingredients to the bread machine in the order specified
  2. Set the bread machine to the “sweet”/“cake” setting or whatever equivalent
  3. When your bread machine prompts you to add mixins (usually beeping), use a silicone spatula to scrape any excess flour off the sides.
  4. Add all of the mixins

Notes

  • You can sub half of the walnuts for raisins if you prefer that
  • The reason for adding the ingredients in a specific order is because you want wet ingredients to go in first, then flour to create a buffer, then the dry ingredients.
  • I own this bread machine and this recipe was tested with it. You should be able to make a 2lb loaf with this recipe but you might need to adjust accordingly.
