Ingredients
Scale
- 80g levain (fed sourdough starter)
- 200g filtered water
- 375g bread flour
- 100g pumpkin puree
- 50g brown sugar
- 10g salt
- 2g pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Feed your sourdough starter 7–8 hours before beginning. Use a 1:1:1 ratio (e.g., 50g starter, 50g flour, 50g water).
- In the morning, mix the levain, filtered water, bread flour, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl until fully combined and no dry flour remains.
- Cover and let the dough rest (autolyse) for 30 minutes.
- Perform four sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes over a 2-hour period to strengthen the dough.
- After the final fold, cover the dough and let it rise for 3–4 hours until increased by 50% in size.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, stretch it into a rectangle, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Fold it like a letter and roll into a ball. Rest 15 minutes.
- Repeat the rectangle and cinnamon process again, then shape tightly and place into a floured proofing basket.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days for cold fermentation.
- Preheat a Dutch oven to 480°F (250°C) for 1 hour. Invert the dough onto parchment, dust with flour, and score the top.
- Bake at 480°F with the lid on for 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 450°F (230°C), remove lid, and bake an additional 20 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack for 30–60 minutes before slicing. Serve with butter and flaky sea salt if desired.
Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active before beginning the recipe.
- Cold fermentation enhances the flavor of the bread.
- Adjust cinnamon to taste if desired.
