I call this my "hostess gift" pumpkin bread, but it's fantastic for any occasion at all. Swirls of cinnamon-sugar make every slice irresistible. —Shirley Runkle, St. Paris, Ohio

I read the review suggestions before I started. I whipped up the ingredients and kneaded without adding the raisens. I didn't allow to raise, instead I divided and rolled dough out like for cinnamon rolls and topped with butter, pumpkin pie spice(not cinnamon), brown sugar, raisens and chopped pecans. Roll up like for cinnamon rolls. Pinch and roll under ends.Put into greased loaf pans. Cover with damp towel and Allow to raise for 1 hour. I put a pan of hot water in the oven, under the loaf pans to help speed up the raising process. Cook at 350 degrees for 55 minutes, brushing top of loaves with melted butter after 30 minutes. I also used cream cheese frosting diluted with milk to spread on top of loaves. This turned out to be a delicious keeper and very substantial tasting with the pumpkin, whole wheat, raisens and nuts! enjoy

Question actually, any thoughts on substituting the pumpkin and some of the sugar for persimmon puree? I have some to use up. I want a yeast bread not the cakey kind of bread. Thanks!

Wow, this bread was really delicious. I made it and I was expecting a couple of peices for breakfast the next day, but my family got to it before I had a chance and left me at least one peice aha but they all loved it. My mom said it was best fresh, but I drizzled honey over it and heated it up the next day and it was still moist and delicious! I recommend this recipe :)

I loved this bread! Exactly what I had in mind! I will add cinnamon and maybe nutmeg to the pumpkin pie spice because that just wasn't "spicy" enough for me. Also I think adding walnuts to the cinnamon sugar swirl. This would also make some decadent seasonal french toast. Super easy and very rewarding recipe; thanks!!

Answer to "Sajen" about using her bread machine. I would half the recipe, add ingredients starting with liquids and ending up with dry ingredients on top and the yeast being the last. Put on dough setting. When dough cycle has ended, take out of machine and add raisins to dough. Then pick up instructions with the second bullet point starting with "Turn onto a lightly flour surface, but skip that part and just place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm plus until doubled, about 1 hour." Then continue to the end of instructions. I do this all the time when I am too lazy to mix up the dough and knead it. It worked out fine and actually the bread machine gets to the right temperature and perfect rise. Hope this helps.

I really love this bread, the taste and texture is great. The only thing i didn't like was the crust. It was really thick and chewy, I found myself leaving the crusts behind and just eating the middle. Any tips for a thinner, less chewy crust??

I was in a panic, because i had this recipe cut and clipped and taped to my cabinet. I thought i had lost it, as there are so many recipes that are similar (on google), but i found the exact recipe here on taste of home!! This is my favorite bread because it has enough healthy hearty ingredients in it that one thick slice keeps me and the kids full until lunch! It's healthy, yet delicious! My family can eat an entire loaf fresh out of the oven! AND it lasts for WEEKS in a bag on the counter! I have made 4 loaves many times, and give 1-2 for gifts....labors of love! I like to change up the raisins for other dried fruits for variety. Last time i chopped some dried dates and apricots and it was SO good! I think i use WAY more dried fruit than it calls for, and double the filling. I figured out a way to make my own pie spice (on google) to save money, since i make this so often. I always have a can of pumpkin, and a jar of applesauce handy in case i'm in the mood to bake bread! (thanks TOH, for having this search for beloved cherished recipes like this one! i'm not sure if the people i shared this recipe with would still have it.) P.S. I use bread flour instead of all purpose!

10-15-10 Made the recipe exactly as stated but baked in three 8 1/2" loaf pans for approximately 40 min. It was the perfect size to share. I was able to give two and keep one. I will definitely make more during the holidays.
