Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If using fresh pumpkin, peel, seed, and dice it.
- Place the diced pumpkin in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender (about 10-15 minutes).
- Drain the water and mash the pumpkin until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and dried oregano.
- Stir well to evenly distribute the oregano through the flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Add the mashed pumpkin to the egg-milk mixture and mix well until smooth.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the well and gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the finely chopped rosemary into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice the pumpkin bread and enjoy it warm or at room temperature. It can be served plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for a more intense flavor, but canned pumpkin can also be used for convenience.
- For a fluffier texture, ensure your self-raising flour is fresh or add a bit of baking powder if in doubt.
- Feel free to experiment with herbs. Sage and thyme are also great additions to complement the pumpkin flavor.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its shape and texture.
- If you prefer a sweeter version, consider adding a bit of brown sugar or honey to the batter.
With its delightful blend of pumpkin and herbs, this pumpkin bread is a standout addition to your baking repertoire. Whether enjoyed on its own, with a spread of butter, or as a savory companion to soups and salads, this bread is versatile and delicious.
