About this Recipe

Craving the cozy flavors of fall wrapped in a perfectly crusty, yet tender, loaf of bread? This Pumpkin Sourdough Artisan Bread delivers just that, blending the warmth of pumpkin with the beloved tang of sourdough in every delicious bite.

What sets this loaf apart is the ingenious use of canned pumpkin, which infuses the dough with incredible moisture, resulting in an exceptionally soft and delicious crumb you won't find in traditional sourdough. Paired with a signature crispy artisan crust, it's a textural masterpiece that offers the best of both worlds.

Prepare for a delightful sensory journey. Each slice offers a harmonious blend of the earthy sweetness of pumpkin and the subtle tang of a well-developed sourdough. The interior is wonderfully soft and tender, almost creamy, while the exterior crackles with a satisfying crispness. This bread is hearty and comforting, making it a perfect addition to your autumn baking repertoire.

This Pumpkin Sourdough Artisan Bread is incredibly versatile, allowing you to tailor it to your palate. For a sweeter loaf, embrace the brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. If you prefer a more savory profile, you can adjust the brown sugar or even omit the pumpkin pie spice (substituting with just cinnamon, as suggested in the ingredients), allowing the natural pumpkin and sourdough flavors to shine through with a hint of earthy warmth.

Whether enjoyed as a comforting breakfast toast, alongside a hearty autumn soup, or as an impressive centerpiece for a holiday meal, this artisan sourdough is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
