Why I love Moist Pumpkin Bread?

I love moist pumpkin bread because it melts in my mouth. Unlike a drier type of bread, the moisture in this moist pumpkin bread recipe brings your tastebuds to life with incredible flavors.

What Makes Bread Moist?

The moisture comes from the fats added to the recipe. Water also adds moisture, plus the right amount of pumpkin puree is important for having moist pumpkin bread.

Why is my pumpkin bread so dry?

Dry pumpkin bread results from not enough fats or water being added to the batter. In addition, you might now have enough pumpkin puree in your bread.

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

Baking powder makes air bubbles occur in the batter as it bakes. Too much baking powder makes the bubbles too big, which leads to the loaf of moist pumpkin bread collapsing. It also gives the bread a bitter taste.

How to serve Moist Pumpkin Bread?

Allow the pumpkin bread to cool completely before cutting it into slices. While you can just hold it with your hands, serving the slices on dessert saucers in group settings is best. You could also slice it and use the slices to make moist pumpkin bread French toast.
