Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This cooling period helps the bread firm up slightly, making it easier to remove from the pan without breaking apart. After 10 minutes, turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures that the bread remains moist and doesn’t become soggy from trapped steam.
When the bread has fully cooled, slice it into thick or thin slices, depending on your preference. It’s perfect for serving with a warm cup of coffee or tea on a crisp fall morning, or you can enjoy it as an afternoon snack. If you like, spread a little butter or cream cheese on each slice for extra richness.
Make-Ahead & Storage
This pumpkin bread can be made ahead of time and stored for later enjoyment. Once the bread has cooled completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 4-5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices by wrapping them in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw the slices at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds.
