Told myself not to buy anymore pumpkins after the LTU 'Pumpkin' Event but there are really so many wonderful recipes to try. When I saw Tesco selling pumpkins at RM 0.99 per kilogram, I just couldn't resist buying one.
I tried the recipe 'Pumpkin with Curry Leaves' shared by Phong Hong and now this bread recipe is from Jess of Bakericious. Hers has more 'liao' in it but my is a no-frills version. Thanks to Jess for highlighting that the dough is too wet and sticky, so I was very careful when adding the liquid while kneading. My dough isn't sticky at all. I think this depends on the pumpkin puree used.
Verdict - this bread is soft and moist. Tasted good and soft even on the 4th day. I added some wholemeal flour to it as self consolation that it is healthier, hehehe!. Good bread.

Kimmy, I have taken a break from pumpkins for now :) Your pumpkin bread loaves make me think of buying pumpkins again. And thanks for the mention :)
Hi Karen, I baked the bread, my hubby does the sandwich with the cheddar cheese slices and smoked ham he bought. It's really good, sweet, sweet and savoury. Will ask him to make a set for you.
Hi Phong Hong, it was so cheap I couldn't resist the temptation to buy. I used it to make steamed pumpkin baos. Haven't had the time to draft the post yet. They are good too.
Hi Kimmy, this pumpkin bread is so beautiful. The yellow color itself is already so tempting and besides, I love pumpkin too!!! Will give this recipe of yours a try one day. Thanks for sharing and regards :)
Hi Ivy, these days you can bake and steam with ingredients of various colours and artificial colourings are not necessary. This bread stays good for several days.
