450g cooked and mashed pumpkin (canned is fine)
600g flour

Method:
Mix together the sugar, oil and eggs in a bowl then add the pumpkin and mix thoroughly before adding all the dry ingredients. Mix into the dough then add the water to form a batter. Pour this batter into two greased and floured 22 x 12 cm loaf tins.
Place in an oven pre-heated to 170°C (325°F/Gas Mark 3) and bake for an hour, or until cooked through and nicely browned. Allow to cool then slice before serving. This is nice spread with butter or cream cheese.
