Ingredients

  • 450 g Baker's flour
  • 50 g quinoa flakes
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 10 g salt
  • 25 g olive oil
  • 200 g water
  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 150 g bouncy ripe sourdough starter

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and squelch them together with your hands until there are no more dry bits.
  • Cover the bowl and leave it to rest for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and knead in the bowl for 1 minute. There is no right or wrong way to knead just stretch and fold the dough back into itself making sure you turn the bowl a little each time.
  • Cover the bowl again and leave the dough until doubled in size. This can take anywhere from 2-7 hours depending on the weather and your starter.
  • Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on the bench and brush it with oil.
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Punch down the dough then use your hands to shape it into a smooth ball, tucking it under itself if it needs tidying.
  • Place it on the baking tray and cover with the oiled wrap and leave until almost doubled in size.
  • Pre-heat the oven to maximum fan-forced.
  • When the dough has risen, uncover it and slash the top with a knife.
  • Pop the dough in the oven and turn the oven down to 220C (470F) fan-forced and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Reduce the temperature to 175C (380F) and bake for another 30 minutes or until brown.
  • Transfer the dough to a wire rack to cool.
