Oven-Baked Pumpkin Bread
Description
The bake comes together simply and quickly. Making pumpkin bread will take some time. The dough rises with one punch-down. After that, in the baking pan, it needs to proof well. After baking, the bread should rest for at least 4 hours. Then it turns out fine-crumb and airy. It is excellent for breakfast. You can serve it with tea or coffee.

After the specified time, make a small slash on the shaped loaf with a sharp knife. Put it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 35–40 minutes. Allow for how your own oven behaves. The bread browns quickly, so while it bakes cover the top with baking parchment or foil.
