Sweet pumpkin bread

2 cups self-raising flour
pinch salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup mashed, cooked pumpkin
½ cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
60g butter, melted, cooled
2 eggs, lightly whisked
2 tbs pepitas (pumpkin seed kernels)

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a loaf pan. Sift the flour, salt and spices into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre.

Add the pumpkin, milk, butter and egg to the flour mixture, and stir with a large metal spoon until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle evenly with pepitas.

Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from oven. Set aside in the pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
