🎃 Pumpkin Spice Sourdough Recipe: 150g active s 🎃 Pumpkin Spice Sourdough Recipe: 150g active starter 300-350g water 120-150g pumpkin puree, excess moisture squeezed out (80-100g pumpkin) 30g brown sugar 500g bread flour 10g salt 2g pumpkin pie spice Cinnamons sugar swirl: * �1 cup organic sugar * �1 Tols ground cinnamon Mix dough and do the first stretch and fold after 30 minutes. Completed 2-3 more sets of stretch and fold each 1 hour apart. Leave on counter to complete bulk fermentation. Dump dough out for preshaping. Bench rest. Final shaping into proofing basket. Proof 30-60minutes on the counter or overnight in the fridge. Add in 3/4 of the cinnamon sugar, fold up and add the other 1/4 of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll up completely, and shape into a boule. Flip over your dough and place into your banneton or small bowl. Place four 18” pieces of oiled kitchen twine on top of your loaf, as shown in the video. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of your banneton and flip over, so the twine is on the bottom. Tie the twine together in the correct places, and cut the extra off. Dust with flour and do your scoring. Pull out your dutch oven, remove lid, and place the parchment with your pumpkin loaf in the dutch oven. Put the lid on and stick in the oven for 20 mins. Turn down oven to 450 remove dutch oven lid and bake for another 5-10 mins. Because there’s sugar in this loaf, you might find it burns easier, so watch it carefully! Remove from oven, and pull out loaves with the parchment. Place on a rack to loaves with the parchment. Place on a rack to cool for 30-60 mins before removing the twine. Place a cinnamon stick in the top of your loaf. Wait 1.5-2 hours to cool on a wire rack and enjoy! #pumpkin #sourdough #pumpkinsourdough #sourdoughshaping #sourdoughjourney #sourdoughstarter #homestead #organic #baking #bread #healthyguthealth #fromscratch #homemade #sourdoughbread #baking #recipe #recipes #homemadesourdough #homemadesourdoughbread #homemadebread #organic #breadflour
