Martha Stewart's Pumpkin Bread
I love baked good. I mean, I have a baking blog! I seriously love baked goods.
But I l-o-v-e pottery and ceramics.
And if I can combine the two, I'm there.
During my mini-break, I stopped in at Gary Holt's studio in Berkeley. He has some amazing stuff and he is able to do crossword puzzles in ink! My friend Sumi has a bunch of his pieces at her place.
My bread didn't turn out great and I don't blame Martha. I blame my flour...it was clumpy and I should have sifted it before using it. I ended up overmixing a quick bread. And overmixing...that's bad. I'll definitely try the recipe again in the future...as I need to keep loaves on this pretty piece of pottery!

Also, a few doors down is Mary Law Pottery. I bought something from her too...that piece will be on the blog soon!

Ohhh you're making me lust after pottery!! Beautiful plate. The loaf looks yummy too. =) I love pumpkin loaf.

Oooooh beautiful! I like the Dorie Greenspan pumpkin muffins recipe (only I make in a loaf pan).
That's a beautiful piece! Bread looks good, too ;)
OOOOOhhhhh...I love the pottery, too! And the bread ;)
Mmmm, I love pumpkin bread! Looks delicious...love your photos!
good gravy that pumpkin bread looks AMAZING .... i want a slice sooo bad! it looks so creamy .. ahh conjures memories of my mums pumpkin butter she makes in fall .
mmm luscious!
The bread does look really pretty on the pottery, though!
ooh the pumpkin bread looks so moist!
What a lovely pumpkin bread :)
What a gorgeous platter! It sounds like you had a wonderful break.
starbucks is not a place i like to support to much, but the pumpkin bread is really good, and worth every penny! urs looks just as yum, and probably better!
Man, can't believe I haven't heard about this place (ok that's not true I live in a cave) but will definately have to check it out.
Well the bread LOOKS gorgeous! Sorry it didn't turn out how you wanted. It's funny, pumpkin is not something you too much of until fall, then you made this and I made cookies last week (haven't blogged them yet)! LOL
These are some great looking pieces. I love the earthy colors.
Thanks for visiting my blog and left me a message at my rainhow jelly posting. I just love your blog and love everything your posted here. Looking foward to try out some of your recipes.
love that plate...the crackly, speckled look is just beautiful!
Love that piece of pottery...so gorgeous! A perfect pedestal for your beautiful baked creations.
Agnes had been saying for months that we needed to meet and today was that day...so good to meet you. She kept saying we had much in common and now I read this? That you love pottery? We must have been separated at birth. I have a small pottery/dish addiction - the only thing that keeps me from completely going nuts is space! And if the pumpkin bread recipe is the same one of Martha's that I have, it's worth making again. It's the only pumpkin bread I make...
