Ingredients

Scale

100 g Sourdough Starter (fed and bubbly)
200 g Pumpkin Puree (homemade or canned)
500 g Bread Flour
280 g Water (with a little extra on hand just in case)
20 g Raw
unprocessed honey
10 g Salt

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, and honey, mixing until well blended.
Add the bread flour and salt to the mixture, followed by the water. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
After rising, gently punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Cover and let rise for another 1-2 hours.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Once ready, bake the bread for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a more intense pumpkin flavor, consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. Ensure your sourdough starter is active for best results.
