preparing pumpkin puree
First, cut the pumpkin into cubes. Heat a frying pan with 1 tbsp of oil, add pumpkin pieces and 3-4 tbsp of water. Simmer until the pumpkin becomes soft, then take it out and soften into a puree. This puree will give the bread a delicate texture and natural sweetness.

Preparing the dough
In a deep bowl, sift the flour and combine it with soda and salt. Next, add 0.5 cups of melted butter, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, sugar, lightly beaten eggs and orange juice. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you get a dough that should have the consistency of thick sour cream.

Adding seeds and baking
Now add half of the pumpkin seeds to the dough and mix gently. Take a rectangular baking pan, grease it with the remaining oil, pour the dough into it and sprinkle with the remaining seeds. Place the pan in the oven preheated to 180°C and bake the bread for 45-50 minutes. To make sure it is ready, check the bread with a wooden stick - it should come out dry.

cooling and serving
Once the pumpkin bread is ready, let it cool in the pan. Then carefully take it out and cut into portions. The bread will be delicious both warm and after cooling, and the aroma of orange and cinnamon will make it especially attractive.
