Favorite Spiced Pumpkin Bread

Let your bread machine do the heavy lifting with this foolproof pumpkin bread that transforms humble ingredients into a golden, aromatic loaf perfect for morning toast or afternoon sandwiches.

Unlike quick breads, this yeast-based version develops a light, airy crumb from the bread flour while pumpkin purée adds moisture and a gorgeous orange hue.

The brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice create a subtly sweet profile that works equally well for breakfast with cream cheese or dinner alongside roasted chicken.

Kitchen Tips

• Add ingredients in the order listed for your bread machine model - liquids first for most machines
• Use room temperature eggs and pumpkin to activate the yeast properly
• Choose a light crust setting if your machine has that option, as the sugar content can brown quickly
