About this Recipe

Craving a cozy, spiced treat that celebrates the best of fall flavors? These Pumpkin Pie Sourdough Twists deliver soft, golden pastry with a delightful tang, perfectly capturing the essence of the season in every bite.

What makes these twists truly special is the harmonious blend of a vibrant, active sourdough base with the warmth of pumpkin and classic pie spices. The result is a pastry that boasts a distinct flaky texture and a tangy sourdough foundation, creating a depth of flavor that sets it apart from ordinary sweet breads. It’s a delicious way to enjoy your sourdough starter beyond rustic loaves.

Prepare for a truly inviting aroma to fill your kitchen as these bake—the combined scent of cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and sweet pumpkin is irresistible. Each twist promises a soft, golden exterior giving way to a rich, spiced pumpkin filling, all balanced by that signature sourdough tang. You'll love the experience of a homemade treat that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique. With a prep time of 20 minutes and a cook time of 25 minutes, these are a surprisingly approachable project for such a delicious reward.

Feel free to adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon to your liking for a bolder or milder flavor profile. For an extra touch of sweetness, a simple powdered sugar glaze, made easily with powdered sugar and milk, can be drizzled over the cooled twists. While delightful on its own, you could also experiment with adding a pinch of ground ginger or nutmeg to the filling for an even more complex spice blend.

These Pumpkin Pie Sourdough Twists are perfect for cozy fall mornings, festive holiday brunches, or simply as an afternoon treat alongside a warm mug of coffee or tea. Enjoy them fresh from the oven, perhaps with a touch of extra powdered sugar dusting.
