I've made this bread several times already, with amazing results (delicious and a crowd pleaser!), and this time I played with the flour a little bit - 2 cups bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. It came out great, rose just as well, and we couldn't tell a difference in the taste.

I've so far only used fresh pumpkin (cooked and mashed, freezes well) to make this bread, and it's come out awesome every time. Also, this bread is especially delicious toasted and with butter.
