Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients for Grandpa’s Pumpkin Bread. Ensure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 13 oz. coffee cans with cooking spray.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, sugar, and salt. Create a deep well in the center of the dry ingredients using a spoon.

Bake: Place the filled cans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
-
Check for Doneness: To ensure the bread is fully baked, check with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, your bread is ready!

Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cans from the oven and immediately invert them onto a plate. Allow the bread to cool for several minutes before carefully lifting the cans off.
