Description

A moist and flavorful pumpkin bread made with a tangy sourdough starter, perfect for autumn mornings or a cozy snack.


Ingredients

1 cup active sourdough starter (100% hydration)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger


Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rest at room temperature for 6 hours to allow the sourdough fermentation to develop.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Give the batter a gentle stir and pour it into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
