This was very moist,I added a tsp. of pumpkin pie spice to the ingredients.I only got two loaves however,and I had to cook it a bit longer.But my teenage son ate a whole loaf in on sitting.Very good bread.

This was an excellent recipe except that you wrote a can of pumpkin and I guess that it was the 1lb can (14oz)and it was correct...I followed the directions to the tee and it came out moist and wonderful...Thanks
