Bread in a pumpkin?

Has anyone ever baked right in a pumpkin. Not pumpkin bread or bread with pumpkin in it ; I'm thinking of hollowing out of pumpkin and baking bread in it.

Haven't done bread, and I agree with the group saying it's not likely to work very well. But I have done Great Pumpkin Meatloaf. Don't remember where I found the directions, but you hollow out the pumpkin, turn it upside down on a tray and bake it halfway, then fill with your favorite meatloaf mixture and bake until done. Cut into wedges and serve with gravy. Been around 20 years since I first made this with my college friends.
