Pumpkin bread is a favorite of many people around Thanksgiving time. This moist bread uses a bit of sourdough starter in it which gives it a great taste and texture.

If you ever have a lot of extra sourdough discard you can use it to make this bread. I have two ways listed to make this bread. You can either ferment for 7 hours or use sprouted flour and bake it right away.

My sourdough starter, pictured below, is over 9 years old. From this jar, I have sent out thousands of jars/packs of starter to help others begin their journey into this intriguing world of baking. If you would like to purchase a mature starter to give you a jumpstart into baking you can purchase one on the “Buy it Now” page.
