1-Getting started: Getting started with this pumpkin bread recipe is easy and fun, especially when you’re aiming for that perfect cozy fall baking vibe. Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F and preparing two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans by greasing them generously with butter and dusting with flour. This step ensures your bread releases smoothly and keeps its shape.

2-In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg; whisk until well combined. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until blended, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the pumpkin the mixture may look grainy, but that’s normal and it will bake up beautifully.

3-Mixing and Baking the Batter: Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the bread tender. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
