Directions:
NOTE: if using pumpkin pie mix, rather than plain pumpkin puree or fresh cooked pumpkin, reduce the amount of nutmeg to 1/4 tsp. For a fresh pumpkin choice, Sugar Pie Pumpkins are the best for this dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except bread and butter, mixing well.
- In a large bowl, drizzle bread with butter and pour liquid over bread, then let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer bread mixture to a 7x11 or 9 inch oven-safe pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. If you are using 6 individual sized baking dishes, bake for 35 minutes (or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean).
- Serve with your favourite tangy compote or ice cream.
- This recipe is also great with a few pecans and/or apple slices baked inside or on top .
- Try topping with a caramel or butterscotch sauce
