Dough:
- 140 grams (1/2 cup) milk (I used almond milk)
- 4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) butter, unsalted
- 55 grams (1/4 cup) brown sugar, packed
- 300 grams white KAMUT flour
- 50 grams sprouted KAMUT flour
- 5 grams ground flax seed meal
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 50 grams sourdough starter (100% hydration, recently fed)
- 65 grams (3/4 cup) canned pumpkin puree
Filling:
- 55 grams brown sugar, more if desired
- 55 grams brown sugar, more if desired
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 tsp cinnamon, more if desired
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine milk, butter, and sugar in a small to medium sauce pan and heat on medium-high until the butter has melted. Allow the mixture to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, flax seed meal, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
- Once the milk/sugar/butter mixture has cooled, stir in the pumpkin puree and sourdough and mix to combine using a wooden spoon or Danish dough whisk. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Cover and let the dough autolyse (rest) for 20 minutes before adding any extra flour, if necessary. (I didn’t need to add any additional flour because KAMUT is more absorbent than regular all-purpose flour; however, if you use regular AP flour, you may need to add a little more flour due to the extra hydration from the pumpkin puree.)
- Cover the bowl and let the dough proof for 2-3 hours. It should double in size during this time.
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper. (I recommend lining with parchment paper to catch the yummy filling that oozes out while baking. It makes a nice treat for the baker.)
- On a well-floured surface, roll the dough out into a 12”x 20” rectangle. Use a whisk or fork to combine the butter, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg into a creamy paste. Spread the paste over the entire sheet of dough. (I left a margin around the edges of the dough, but it didn’t need it).
- Using a sharp knife or bench knife, cut the dough into 6- 12” long strips. Make two stacks of dough (with 3 strips in each stack) and cut each stack into three equal pieces. You should end up with 18 equal-sized rectangles of dough. Layer the dough pieces in the pan, being careful not to squish the dough pieces together too much. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or Bees wrap and allow to rise a second time, about 1-2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- When the dough has doubled in size, (it may not reach the top of the pan), place in preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. (You may want to tent the loaf with aluminum foil if the brown sugar starts to burn before the loaf is finished baking).
- Allow the loaf to cool on a cooling rack before serving.
