- In a separate bowl, whisk together the bread flour, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform a series of stretch and folds every 30 minutes for 2 hours, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a Dutch oven inside.

Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before using.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin puree based on your desired flavor and moisture level.
- You can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough for extra texture.
- For a crispier crust, bake the loaf directly on a baking stone or steel.
