• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt

• 1 tablespoon cornmeal, or as needed

1. Whisk together pumpkin, both amounts of water, yeast, salt, pumpkin spice in a large bowl.
2. Stir in flour.
3. The mixture will look dry, but keep mixing until dough comes together.
4. Cover with a lightly damp towel and allow to rise for 12-16 hours.
5. Generously sprinkle cornmeal over a baking sheet.
6. Scrape dough out of the bowl onto a generously floured work surface.
7. Sprinkle more flour on top of the dough, then press down slightly on dough to remove any air bubbles.
8. Shape the dough into a round loaf by folding the sides up and flipping the dough over so the smooth side is on top.
9. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
10. Dust with more flour, then place dry towel on top.
11. Allow to dough to rise until nearly double, about 1 1/2 hours.

13. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
14. Place a small baking pan filled with about 2 inches of water in the back of the oven.
15. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, then turn baking sheet around and continue baking until golden brown, about 20 minutes more.
