My two favorite pumpkin bread recipes are one that makes two loaves (these make nice gifts) and one for muffins but I don’t always have the time it takes to mix the dough and monitor the baking so here’s one for use in the bread machine.

Pumpkin Bread (Bread Machine - one 2 lb. loaf)

2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup canned pumpkin
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, cut up
4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup chopped pecans

Add the ingredients to the machine in the order specified by the manufacturer’s instructions. Select “basic white bread” cycle.
