Notes
The baking time can vary quite a bit depending on what material your pan is made out of.
If the bread looks like it is getting too done on top but still is not cooked through you can lay a piece of foil over the top of the bread. Instead of using pumpkin pie spice you can use 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg and ½ teaspoon ground allspice.
