My Pumpkin Bread

Played around with lots of different pumpkin bread recipes over the years and after experimenting and playing around with different ingredients, I come up with this one which I've been using the last several years.

My Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup of applesauce (you can use a 1/2 cup of canola oil, but the applesauce is much healthier)
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup water

Directions
Preheat oven to 350F. Sift together the flour, salt, sugar and baking soda.

Mix the pumpkin, applesauce, eggs, water and spices together. Combine with the remaining ingredients, mix to combine, but don't over mix.

Pour into a well buttered 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until a thin skewer stick inserted into the center comes out clean. Carefully turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack, allow to cool completely.
