What Makes this Pumpkin Bread So Adorable and Moist?

• Pumpkin puree and milk make this bread so moist.
• The adorable Nordic Ware baking tin with festive pumpkins and gourds makes this bread so adorable.
• Adding fresh eucalyptus and dusting with powdered sugar is a pretty and elegant way to serve it to family and friends!

How to Prevent the Bread From Sticking?

The pan has quite a lot of detailing and the ingredients can get stuck if you’re not careful. I’ve received quite a few questions on Instagram stories asking about this. Here are some tips:

• Use a spray, like Pam (either oil spray or for baking)
• Dusting with flour can help prevent sticking if not using a spray with flour.
• Make sure to allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto the cooling rack.
• Always thoroughly wash your loaf pan after use making sure to get any remaining crumbs out of the nooks and crannies.
