How long can pumpkin bread stay good?

Pumpkin bread stays fresh for up to 4 days at room temperature when stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze slices for up to 3 months.

How to know if pumpkin bread is done?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, it's done. The top should also spring back lightly when pressed.

Why does my pumpkin bread crack?

A crack on top is totally normal! It happens as the loaf rises and sets in the oven. In fact, it’s a sign that your bread has baked properly and isn’t underdone inside.

How to keep pumpkin bread from getting soggy?

Let the bread cool completely before wrapping or storing. Moisture trapped in warm bread can lead to sogginess. Also, avoid sealing it too tightly in plastic—use wax paper or foil if storing at room temp.
