We really enjoyed the streusel topping that was on the bread even though I admitted the pecans. Personally, I would have loved the bread even better with more streusel topping. The bread itself could have used more spice compared to the bread we normally like. We like a very strong pumpkin flavor. Made for My Three Chefs 2009.
