Pumpkin ale bread recipe Photo by Erik Putz
Pies, step aside! This moist, rich sweet bread comes together in just 10 minutes. Drizzled with pumpkin-ale glaze and crunchy pepitas, it's as beautiful as it is delicious.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp pumpkin-pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pure pumpkin purée
1/3 cup pumpkin ale
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup icing sugar
2 tbsp pumpkin ale
1/4 cup pepitas
PREHEAT oven to 350F. Lightly spray a 9 × 5-in. loaf pan with oil.
STIR flour with baking soda, pumpkin-pie spice and salt in a medium bowl.
WHISK eggs with brown sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in pumpkin purée, 1/3 cup ale, oil and vanilla. Whisk flour mixture into pumpkin mixture until combined. Scrape into prepared pan (batter will be thick). Smooth top.
BAKE in centre of oven until loaf is dark golden and a skewer inserted in centre of loaf comes out clean, 60 to 65 min. Transfer to a rack. Let stand 15 min. Run a knife along edges of loaf pan and transfer loaf to rack.
WHISK icing sugar and pumpkin ale in a small bowl. Spoon over top of loaf and sprinkle with pepitas.
