Quick Pumpkin Bread


Good morning! Been such a long time but from now on, I will be more hardworking to share my recipes here as well. I need your support! Here goes a very simple, quick bread recipe. It takes only 15-20 minutes to prep and 30 min to bake. So if you have a leftover slice of pumpkin or squash, go for bread baking this Sunday.


Ingredients:

300 gr flour
100 gr wholemeal or rye flour
1 packet (7 gr) of baking powder
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
130 gr grated pumpkin or squash
300 gr buttermilk (or add a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice into 300 gr of milk)


How to:

1.Start by heating your oven to 220C. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt) (Make the buttermilk in another bowl if you don't have buttermilk.)

2. Add the grated pumpkin into the dry ingredients and stir well with a wooden spoon, try not to have big clumps left.

3. Then make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the buttermilk. This time mix everything with your hands to form a sticky dough.

4. Take the dough onto a clean, floured surface and knead for 2-3 min until it comes together. If you need, add some more flour at this stage.

5. Form the dough into a big ball and put on a tray. Score with a knife to make it rise easily.

6. Bake in the pre-heated oven of 220C for half an hour. Once it's risen and brown, it is ready. Enjoy!
