FAQ

Why is my pumpkin bread so dry?

There are a number of reasons your pumpkin bread came out dry. It’s possible the particular flour you used was extra “thirsty” for liquid. Try cutting the amount of flour, or adding more milk. It’s also possible your oven was too hot, or you baked the pumpkin bread for too long.

What happens if you put too much pumpkin in pumpkin bread?

You might think you could overcome the lack of flavor by adding more pumpkin purée to your recipe, but you’d be mistaken: By the time you’ve added enough purée to taste it, your baked good would have a soggy texture on account of all that moisture.

How do you salvage undercooked pumpkin bread?

In most situations, an undercooked loaf of bread can be fixed by returning it to the oven for a few more minutes. This is true for loaves where the outside of your bread may look fully set, but the inside of the bread is still gummy. Place the loaf back in a preheated oven at 350° F for 10-20 minutes.

Does pumpkin add moisture to bread?

Oil: While the pumpkin does add moisture to this bread, there’s also some oil in it to help ensure that it stays moist. You can use either canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil. Buttermilk: This is my secret ingredient! The buttermilk adds moisture and helps to create a soft, tender bread.

How can one prepare pumpkin to eat?

The pumpkin can be prepared boiled or baked. In both cases, it can be consumed with the peel and the seeds that will provide fiber. It can also be seasoned with oil and other aromatic seasonings, such as rosemary.

Can you make pumpkin bread with honey?
