Notes, tips, and variations
[edit | edit source]- Chopped walnuts are particularly good in this bread, but other nuts will do.
- If cooking in a Dutch oven, preheat with about 14 charcoal briquettes, with about 10 or 11 on top and 3 or 4 on the bottom. If you're cooking outdoors, you'll have to use a hand mixer or a strong arm with the spoon.
- If your bread sticks to the greased pan, try coating the greased pan with a thin layer of flour or a piece of parchment paper.
- If you want to use fresh cooked pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin, follow these directions:
- Cut the a small cooking/pie pumpkin into small section (that will fit into the pot you will use to cook them).
- Bring water to a boil in a large pot (enough water so the none of the pumpkin slices will be sitting on the bottom of the pot).
- Add pumpkin slices to the boiling water, cook for about 15 minutes or until pumpkin is soft.
- Remove pumpkin slices from water.
- Using a knife or spoon, peel/cut away the skin.
- The pumpkin can be used right away for cooking, or can be refrigerated/frozen until needed.
