    Ingredient Tips:

    • I prefer using cake flour instead of all-purpose in my baking recipes because it makes the final texture and moisture of the baked pastries turn out way better!
    • I also prefer to use my own homemade blend of Pumpkin Pie Spice for my autumn recipes but you can swap this out for a store-bought blend.

    How to Make a Scrumptious Glazed Pumpkin Bread

    Roll up those sleeves and turn on some baking mood music because it’s time to dive right into this autumn baking adventure! I have broken down the whole process for you and included any special details or instructions that you need to keep in mind to ensure that you end up with completely satisfying results.

    Making the Pumpkin Bread:

    1. First, preheat the oven to 325°F and measure out all of the ingredients.
    2. Next, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a glass mixing bowl.
    3. Then, in another separate large glass mixing bowl, use the blending whisk to combine the pumpkin puree, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely combined.
    4. Next, slowly pour half of the flour mixture into the wet ingredient mixture and mix well. 
    5. Add the remaining dry ingredients and whisk the mixture well until all of the ingredients are completely combined.
    6. Next, completely coat the inside of the bread pan with the vegetable shortening. Make sure to get all of the sides and corners.
      1. I like to protect my hands from getting greasy in this step by covering up with some disposable food-friendly gloves.
    7. Then, use a silicone spatula to scrape and spread all of the pumpkin bread batter into the greased loaf pan and transfer to the preheated oven to bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out totally clean.
      1. Start checking the pumpkin bread after 50 minutes, you don’t want to overcook it.
    8. When it’s ready, pull the baked pumpkin bread out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the baked bread from the pan to a cooling rack.
    9. Finally, let the pumpkin bread completely cool on the rack for about 1-2 hours before glazing it.
      1. If you don’t let the bread cool completely then it will turn out doughy and chunky when you go to cut into it.

    Whipping Up the Vanilla Glaze:

    2. Next, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a glass mixing bowl.
    3. Then, use a blending whisk to mix the ingredients together until completely combined and a smooth consistency is reached.
    4. Finally, slide a sheet of parchment paper under the cooling rack with the pumpkin bread and evenly pour the glaze over the whole loaf.

    Garnishing:

    1. After glazing the pumpkin bread, immediately sprinkle the chopped pecans on top before the glaze starts to harden.

    Storing Pumpkin Bread with Vanilla Glaze

    To store glazed pumpkin bread, first, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Pumpkin bread can be stored just like this at room temperature forr up to 3-5 days. For longer storage, after the 3-day mark, transfer the wrapped Pumpkin Bread to the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life for up to 7 days. Always mark the date on the outside of the wrapping to keep up with freshness.

    To freeze glazed pumpkin bread, first, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then again in kitchen foil. Mark the date on the outside and store the wrapped pumpkin bread in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving again.
