Ingredients:

  • 440g bread flour
  • 120g active sourdough starter
  • 120g pumpkin puree
  • 180ml warm water
  • 12g fine sea salt
  • 40g honey
  • 6g ground cinnamon
  • 2g ground ginger
  • 1g ground nutmeg
  • 0.5g ground cloves

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the warm water, active starter, honey, and pumpkin puree in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Stir in the bread flour and the Autumn Spice Blend (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves) until no dry flour remains.
  3. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, then sprinkle salt over the top and dimple it in with fingers, folding the dough to incorporate.
  4. Perform 4 sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes: pull one side of the dough upward and fold it over the center, rotating the bowl 4 times per set.
  5. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature until the dough grows by 50-75%.
