Yield Makes 4 small loaves

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons cuminseed, toasted lightly and cooled
a 16-ounce can solid-pack pumpkin purée
3 large eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Into a bowl sift together the flour, the cornmeal, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the sugar. In a skillet cook the onion with the curry powder, the ground cumin, the cayenne, and the salt in 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until it is soft, let the mixture cool, and stir in the cuminseed. In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, the eggs, the buttermilk, the onion mixture, and the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, melted, add the flour mixture, and stir the batter until it is just combined. Divide the batter among 4 buttered and floured loaf pans, each 5 3/4 by 3 1/4 by 2 inches, and bake the breads in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Remove the breads from the pans and let them cool, right sides up, on a rack. The breads keep, wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil, chilled for 1 week or frozen for 1 month.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat pumpkin.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but this bread was surprisingly good. The curry flavor is very subtle and it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the bread.

This bread is a bit more dense than I expected, but it's still delicious. The curry flavor is subtle but it really adds something special to the bread.
