Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Bread Recipe

While I’m a huge fan of the pumpkin spice flavoring to this homemade bread, let’s not overlook that the chocolate drizzle on top is a great addition.

My boys are all about eating fresh bread right when it’s cooled just enough, and this bread proved that it was worth the wait.

After we baked the first Pumpkin Spice Loaf, there were already pleas in the eyes of everyone in the house to make a round 2. I think that is a good indicator that it was a hit!

What is the best way to store homemade dessert bread?

While leaving it out on the kitchen counter might be tempting, this can quickly lead to stale, inedible bread.

Instead, the best way to store your homemade dessert bread is by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and placing it in an airtight container. You can also store it in the fridge to extend its shelf life.

I’ve found that this bread recipe is best when slicing it into individual slices and then wrapping each slice in saran wrap. It keeps the leftovers super fresh!

What is pumpkin puree?

This smooth and creamy puree is made by cooking and blending pumpkin until it is silky and free of lumps or chunks.

It can be found canned or homemade and is used in various recipes, from pumpkin pies and breads to soups and stews.

With its distinct earthy flavor and vibrant orange hue, pumpkin puree will surely add a touch of fall to any dish.

How do I store baked dessert bread?

Storing baked dessert bread is crucial to preserve its quality and freshness. To ensure that your bread stays intact, it is advisable to allow it to cool to room temperature before wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

It would be best to avoid storing the bread in the refrigerator as it tends to dry quickly. Instead, store the bread at room temperature in a dry and cool place, such as a pantry or bread box.

Furthermore, if you plan to store your baked dessert bread for an extended period, it is advisable to freeze it. To do this, wrap it with plastic and aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer bag or container.

Ensure you label the container with the date to avoid losing track of time. Proper storage of baked dessert bread not only ensures that it stays fresh but also enhances the flavor of the bread.

What are fun topping suggestions for homemade pumpkin bread?

When adding the perfect topping to homemade pumpkin bread, several options can elevate the flavor profile and provide an added texture to the already delicious bread.

One popular topping choice is a simple cream cheese glaze, which provides a tangy contrast to the sweet pumpkin bread.

Another option is to sprinkle chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, on top of the bread batter before baking to create a crunchy layer. Consider drizzling some melted chocolate or dulce de leche over the cooled pumpkin bread for a more indulgent topping.

Experimenting with different toppings is a fun way to make homemade pumpkin bread even more enjoyable.
