PUMPKIN BREAD

3 ½ C flour

2 tsp soda

1 tsp baking powder

3 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp salt

3 C white sugar

1 C canola oil

4 eggs

1 ¾ C pumpkin purée

½ C cold water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9X5” loaf pans.

Combine flour, soda, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.

Beat together sugar, oil, eggs and pumpkin. Stir in flour mixture alternately with the water. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake for about one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. For best flavor, store wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for a day before serving.
