This time of year also is wonderful for making bread. While I love all types of bread, I have never had much luck with anything that calls for yeast. If I can manage to ruin Rhodes Rolls, then I obviously have a serious problem. Thank heavens for Pillsbury's bread sticks! Pop the can, roll out and presto, a hot delicious side for dinner.I usually stick to fruit type breads and have much better luck with them. Here are my all time favorite two.
Coconut Pecan Bread
4 eggs
2 c sugar
1 c oil
2 tsp coconut extract
Mix and add:
3 c flour
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 c buttermilk
1 c pecans
1 c coconut
Bake at 325 for 1 hour 2 min. Cover with glaze.
1 c sugar
1/4 c water
1 Tb butter
1 tsp coconut extract
Bring glaze to a boil and cool slightly. Brush over hot bread. Makes 2 loaves.
Pumpkin Bread
4 eggs
2 c sugar
2 c pumpkin
1 c oil
Mix and add:
2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1 Tb cinnamon

Happy baking!

Yummy! I've been looking for a good pumkin bread recipe! I'm totally going to try it out!
Mmmmmm -- I'll take some of that pumpkin bread! I think I try and make as many pumpkin things as I can in the fall. Let's see, we could take this far -- pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies (with cream cheese frosting of course - oh, and MILK chocolate chips (sorry Kristi)), pumpkin rolls (with cream cheese frosting), pumpkin spice ice cream from Graeter's . . . with cream cheese frosting the possibilities are endless!
I'll try the pumpkin bread too, Yummy!
Okay, I'm taking these recipes to try too! Thank you-
