Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cozy Fall Pumpkin Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8 ½"x4 ½" bread pans by greasing and dusting with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
  4. Gently combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, folding until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick in the center.
  7. Let the baked bread cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
