Pumpkin Bread


So... this isn't exactly "bread", since it doesn't have any yeast in it, but I found this recipe in an old cookbook that was put together by my elementary school. I was flipping through it for the first time in years, and was puzzled by some of the recipes. For example: Garlic Bread. Ingredients - bread, butter, garlic salt. Instructions- toast. REALLY?
Luckily, I discovered something worthwhile. Pumpkin Bread! I love pumpkin and it is very much the season for it.
