Let me get to this post quickly. I had a large pumpkin a few days ( kind of months I could say....), back, I had few portion of it left over.
I started of with doing something and ended up doing an other thing, I peeled and chopped the pumpkin to pieces that was when I changed my mind and ended up making this bread.
ROASTED PUMPKIN AND CARAMELIZED PECAN BREAD
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Roasted Pumpkin
1/2 Banana
350 gms Strong white flour
1/4 tsp salt
25 gms Unsalted butter softened
60 grms Brown sugar

50 - 70 grms Pecans

Once the Bread is done, remove it on to a cooling rack, within 5 mintues remove the bread out of the loaf tin and leave it upside down so that the bottom becomes soggy.
