Instructions

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.
