Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pumpkin purée
1/2 cup olive oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda.
Mix the pumpkin, oil, eggs, 1/4 cup of water, and spices together, then combine with the dry ingredients, but do not mix too thoroughly.
Stir in the nuts.
Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.
Bake 50-60 minutes until a straw poked in the very center of the loaf comes out clean.
Turn out of the pan and let cool on a rack.
Makes one loaf.
