Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I gather all my ingredients and equipment, making sure my kitchen is clean and organized. It’s amazing how a tidy space can enhance the cooking experience! I whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, spices, and salt in a mixing bowl until it’s smooth and well combined. The rich orange color of the pumpkin blend always makes me feel like I’m in the heart of autumn. Once it’s mixed, I let it sit for a moment while I prep the bread.
