In a recent catalog I saw Nordic Ware bread pans that have a 3-D pumpkin design. I decided to look for them on Amazon, found them and ordered two pans.
My sister recently shared some of their garden tomatoes and zucchini…Thank You! The tomatoes we enjoyed sliced for dinner…yum! I have a recipe for Pumpkin-Zucchini Bread that makes enough for two 9″x5″ loaf pans so I made a batch using the garden zucchini in the new Nordic Ware pumpkin pans. Another yum!
After thoroughly washing and drying the new pans, I lightly coated the interior of the pans with a flour-oil baking spray then added the prepared pumpkin-zucchini bread batter. After baking the bread and cooling a bit in the pans, the baked bread literally dropped out of the pans…so no problem with sticking especially with all the intricate 3-D detail! The two loaves are perfect in detail!
I have a folder of quick (batter) loaf bread recipes and there are quite a few with pumpkin bread variations. While I like my Pumpkin-Zucchini Bread recipe, I plan to try some others during this fall season with my new 3-D pumpkin pans to see which one wins out in taste, texture and presentation!
