- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Optional: chopped nuts or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Begin by ensuring your sourdough starter is active and bubbly. Feed it 12 hours before baking for optimal fermentation.
- In a large bowl, combine bread flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, honey, and pumpkin puree. Add active sourdough starter and warm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and ferment for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough, shape into a loaf, and place on a baking sheet or proofing basket. Cover and proof for 2-3 hours until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Score the loaf and bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active for best rise and flavor.
- You can add chopped nuts or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
- Baking times may vary; keep an eye on the crust color.
- Allow bread to cool completely before slicing for best texture.
