Notes
Chef Notes:
When adding in the dry spices to the stand mixer be sure to turn it to low speed or else the spices are going to go everywhere
A great way to know that the bread is done is if you use a toothpick to poke a hole in the center and it comes out dry or with a few dry morsels of bread on it.
How to Reheat: If you want to serve the bread warm, reheat it by simply wrap in foil and place in the oven at 250° for 5-7 minutes. If you need something faster, then place in the microwave for 20-30 seconds on high heat.
How to Store: Pumpkin bread should be stored at room temperature covered in plastic and will stay fresh for up to 4 days. Pumpkin bread will definitely last a little bit longer if covered and kept in the refrigerator and can hold for up to 6 days. For freezing cover in plastic and keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
