A wonderful hearty pumpkin bread made in the machine. I make it every Thanksgiving. It's not like your usual pumpkin breads (sweet breads) made for dessert, it's more a serve-with-the-meal kind of bread.

Canned pumpkin pie filling has other ingredients and seasonings added and is not appropriate for this recipe.TRY THISNo pumpkin pie spice on your cupboard shelf? Mix ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and you will have a teaspoon of your own pumpkin pie spice..From "Betty Crocker's Best Bread Machine Cookbook, The Goodness of Homemade Bread the Easy Way."
