This is a big delicious batch of pumpkin bread intended for gift giving. It has all the bells and whistles… streusel topping and glaze… that a gift should have. And, it almost too good to give away. Of course, you don’t have to give it away, and it makes a lot, so you could give some away and keep some.
This recipe makes four large loaves or 8 small ones (half loaves). Or, possibly some different amount as loaf pans come in all kinds of different sizes now. I bought these paper loaf pans that you bake in and then give it away in the little paper pan. They hold 18.6 ounces, and I was able to make 7 of them.
