I baked a loaf of pumpkin bread the other day.
It came from a recipe on the Smitten Kitchen website, presided over by a New Yorker named Deb Perlman.
As you may be able to tell, the loaf is topped with a copius amount of cinnamon sugar and the ingredient list includes sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and freshly grated nutmeg.
So it has a double payoff.
As one commenter said, it makes the house smell wonderful while baking.
SWMBO said it is so sweet it should be called pumpkin cake but I didn't think it was all that sweet.
Different strokes for different folks.
Or two people with perhaps different taste senses.
I took a picture once I had sliced off one end so you could view the interior.
But I'm not the only baker in this household.
Judy has baked several dozen cookies of various recipes so we are well stocked.
After I baked the bread/cake she told me to slack off awhile as we have too many calorie-laden goodies in the house and we may gain back some of the weight we've both lost over the last year.
Maybe I could avoid scarfing them down by wearing my Covoid "mask" in the house.
What do you think?
WE had pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. Stay At Home will either result in fit bodies using their treadmills, or people eating all day long . . .
ReplyDeleteDon't know about the mask, but I'm surfing over to the Smitten Kitchen website. That bread looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat pumpkin bread looks so yummy. I may have to try baking that someday. Today I'm making a whole wheat bread and I already screwed up the recipe by adding an extra cup of flour. Distracted? Yes!
ReplyDeleteI could almost smell the bread baking, then it might help that Lana is presently baking raisin bread, and sugar and spice cookies.
ReplyDeleteAs for the mask, you look like you may have run with the Dalton gang.
