Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 1 cup warm water Should be warm but not hot.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup As a sweetener.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice seasoning Adjust according to taste.
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Method

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix the warm water, honey (or maple syrup), and sourdough starter. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until bubbly.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, salt, and pumpkin spice to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Fold in the dried cranberries.
  • Dust a clean surface with flour and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.

Baking

  • Once risen, punch the dough down and shape it into a loaf.
  • Place the shaped loaf in a greased bread pan and let it rise for another 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Allow it to cool completely before slicing.
