After 30 minutes, loosely cover the pumpkin bread with tinfoil to prevent the top from burning. Try not to touch the top of the bread with the foil but rather shape the foil in a rectangular box shape and place on top of the tin, shielding the top of the loaf from direct heat.

After 55 minutes (25 minutes since covering the loaf tin with tinfoil) carefully poke a toothpick in the center of the loaf and check if it comes out clean. If it come outs clean or with large crumbs, remove the pumpkin bread from the oven. If the toothpick comes out with a film of batter, continue to bake the pumpkin bread and check with a tooth pick every 5 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with large crumbs.
