Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or substitute with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon nutmeg)
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 can (15–16 ounces) 100% pumpkin puree (make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Loaf Pan
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. A well-prepared pan will ensure that your bread doesn’t stick and comes out cleanly when baked.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set this mixture aside. These dry ingredients are key to ensuring the perfect rise and spiced flavor throughout the bread.
