- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

- This bread freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Use canned pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
