Pumpkin Bread

This recipe is one of my favorites, its definitely a hit around here. As soon as fall comes around we start baking around the weekends and the kids just love this one. Has been a part of our thanksgiving tradition for a few years now.

• 3 1/3 cup all purpose flour 
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin

Mix everything together, add flour gradually at the end.

Pour into 3 greased 9 x5 loaf pans (or substitute 3 mini loafs for one of the large loaf pans).  Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to an hour (less time if using mini loaves).

Hint: I like to dust the pan with cinnamon/sugar mixture after greasing to give the crust extra sweetness. you can add things to make it your own..I love the cinnamon sugar on top.
