Expert Tips for Making Pumpkin Bread Cake Mix

  • Flour: When making your Pumpkin Bread Cake Mix, use bread flour to get a little extra rise (but you can also use all-purpose flour if bread flour is not available).
  • Proof Your Bread: Leaving your bread in for too long or not enough may effect the rise. Eventually the bread will sink down again. To test it, give the bread a soft poke with your fingertip and it should leave a small indentation and slowly spring back.
  • Warm Milk: If your Pumpkin Bread recipe calls for milk, always heat it up just a little bit before use. This can prevent it from ‘messing’ with the job of the yeast.
