Sourdough Pumpkin Bread

October 7, 2020 by Sophie Leave a Comment

Hi hi hello!

It’s October! And I am all about it.

I’m usually an avid fan of this season anyways, but something about this year made me extra ready to jump into the cozy bakes and weather. Could be COVID and already feeling like cozying at home.

Probably has to do with how I much I like to snuggle up with my cat, Jonah. He gets SO snuggly when it’s cold out. It’s my favorite thing ever. If I sit on the couch with a blanket on, he’s on me in within 5 minutes and will stay there for hoursss. Love it.

This is a super easy and seasonally appropriate use of leftover sourdough starter. I inevitably end up with extra starter pretty regularly because I bake bread every couple of weeks and I hate to throw away discard from feedings or levain. Cue this wonderful pumpkin bread!

This is like your favorite go-to pumpkin bread, but with a little something extra. I love this crumble topping so much, and with the pepitas it is just perfect.

A classic pumpkin bread made with sourdough discard and a pepita crumble topping.

You'll Need...

  • 215 grams all purpose flour
  • 4 grams baking soda
  • 3 grams baking powder
  • 1 gram salt
  • 4 grams cinnamon
  • 2 grams nutmeg
  • 1 gram cloves
  • 3 eggs
  • 200 grams sugar
  • 160 grams neutral oil (or melted butter)
  • 225 grams sourdough starter (can be discard or fresh)
  • 4 grams vanilla
  • 225 grams pumpkin puree
  • Crumble topping: (Optional)
  • 38 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 22 grams granulated sugar
  • 22 grams brown sugar
  • A pinch of cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 63 grams AP flour
  • 10 grams pepitas

Directions

  1. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with a parchment sling and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Crumble: In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugars, cinnamon and salt and whisk together. Pour in the melted butter and whisk until incorporated. Then add the flour and pepitas and mix with a rubber spatula until it combines into a coarse crumble. Feel free to use your hands to squeeze bits together to form bigger crumbs. Spread out on to a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm.
  3. Pumpkin Bread: Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together with the sugar until well mixed. Next, add the oil, sourdough starter, vanilla and pumpkin. Whisk together until smooth. Fold the dry ingredients in with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and top with the crumble topping.
  4. Bake: Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs. Keep an eye on it; if the top is starting to brown too quickly, tent it with foil part way through baking. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes or so before using the parchment sling to pull it out.

It’s no surprise that I am obsessed with pumpkin bakes, and this is easily one of my favorite ways to use up leftover sourdough. Two of my favoritest things in one bake! πŸ™‚

This bread is super nice and fluffy, well spiced and not too sweet!

And it’s so lovely with a cup of tea.

FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdou FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🀍 Chocolate orange rye sourdough all painted up. 🌼🍫🍊 I used some fresh milled rye flour in this loaf, along with extra dark cocoa powder, fresh orange zest, honey and chocolate chunks. 🀀

I’m not the best at painting, but I’ve been wanting to try something like this since I saw @sleepingmakesmehungry beautiful floral loaves a while back, and @lovealldesignco more recently. 🎨🌸🀍

I used food dye gel mixed with a little water as the paint, scored with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame & baked in my @challengerbreadware pan as always. 🌾🍫🍞

I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to sha I ❀️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to share this small batch marmalade recipe I make each year. The perfect accompaniment to toast with salted butter. Toast is truly one of my favorite foods, and I love making jams & preserves to enjoy with fresh bread. 🍊🧈🍞 Also, this beautiful wood serving board is by my very talented brother @jeffremer! 🀍

Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade: (Makes 1 pint)

300g blood oranges (2-3 oranges)
1/2 lemon
300g water
250g granulated sugar

Peel the oranges and 1/2 lemon, and slice the rind into thin strips and pieces. Remove the seeds from the fruit, slice into smaller chunks and set aside.

Combine the peels and water in a stainless steel pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the peels are tender. You may need to add more water as necessary.

Add the sugar and the fruit to the pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 6-8 minutes until the syrup thickens. 

Transfer to a pint jar and allow to cool uncovered before covering and storing in the fridge.

Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to d Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to do a single slash loaf. I’m always tempted to score a more complex design, but I tend to keep it simple with slashing inclusion loaves. 🌾🍞

This was a delicious cranberry & roasted chestnut bread I made with some beautiful flours from @bartonspringsmill in atx. 🀍🌾 Used their purple straw wheat & rouge de Bordeaux. Slathered a slice in some softened butter with flaky sea salt for a go-to snack. Also had to flag the two quick πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬› cameos!
