A tangy, spiced pumpkin loaf made with active sourdough starter, perfect for fall baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g active sourdough starter
  • 200g pumpkin puree
  • 100g granulated sugar
  • 75g brown sugar
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 300g all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Optional: Streusel topping or glaze

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the active sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  5. If using, prepare your streusel topping or glaze and set aside.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. If adding a glaze, drizzle it over the warm bread. If using a streusel topping, sprinkle it over the batter before baking.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, use a more mature sourdough starter.
  • You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier loaf.
  • This recipe can also be used to make sourdough pumpkin muffins. Adjust baking time accordingly (approximately 20-25 minutes).
  • Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before using it in this recipe.
