Pumpkin Bread for the Bread Machine

Bread Machine, Breadmaker, Breadmaker, Bread Machine. You know what I mean. It's the appliance that allows us busy cooks to have fresh bread with a minimum of fuss.

Here's a special variety of bread for the upcoming holidays. I'm tempted to add raisins or nuts to it: maybe next time.

Ingredients:

Add to bread machine in this order.

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

1 egg

2 Tablespoons margarine or butter, cut up

3 cups bread flour

3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Select basic white bread cycle. Enjoy!

Adding nuts can happen at the "add more goodies" beep mid-cycle or at the beginning. Readers, any preference as to timing?

Enjoy the bread, and have a great holiday full of good food and family fun.
