pumpkin bread









My mom always made the best pumpkin bread.  Here's the really delicious recipe!

pumpkin bread (my mom)
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup nuts, optional
4 eggs
3 cups sugar
2 cups canned pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water


Sift flour, soda, salt and cinnamon.  Mix with chopped nuts.  Set aside.  Thoroughly beat eggs, sugar, pumpkin, oil and water.  Fold in flour mixture.  Pour into 2 greased 4 1/2 x 8 1/2-inch loaf pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  You can add chocolate chips to the batter for a great variation!
