Monastery pumpkin bread
DEAR SOS: With holidays approaching I would like to bake some pumpkin bread using canned pumpkin. Is there a recipe in your vast files?

DEAR KIM: From our vast pumpkin bread recipe file we chose the Monastery Pumpkin Bread, made and sold by nuns of the Monastery of the Angels in Hollywood. It’s been a favorite of our readers throughout the decades.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 8x4-inch loaf pans.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Combine eggs, oil, water and pumpkin and mix well. Stir into dry ingredients.
Turn into the greased loaf pans and top with walnut halves. Bake for 1 hour or until wood pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool before slicing. Serve with butter.
