Pumpkin Bread

2 2/3 C sugar

2/3 C oil (I use applesauce)

4 eggs

2 C canned pumpkin

Mix together well. Then add:

3 1/2 C flour (its ok to use a little wheat flour, but not too much, changes the taste)

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cloves

1C raisins and/or nuts (opt.)

Mix 1tsp cinnamon with 1C sugar (this is separate from the above ingredients - I didn't use all of the sugar) Coat the bottoms and sides of two bread pans with butter Pour the cinnamon/sugar mixture into the pans to coat the bottom and sides Pour batter into bread pans and top with remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture Bake 350 for 45-60 minutes or until bread is dry in middle.
