2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/2 cups bread flour
1 cup pumpkin pie mix (with spices added)
1 cup sour dough starter
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten (optional)
2 tablespoons butter or oil

Put all ingredients into bread machine or follow your user’s manual. Select correct bread cycle and medium crust color, then press start.
Substitution Notes: If you’re using fresh pumpkin instead of canned, be sure it is well drained. You can add 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice OR 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.

If you don’t have sour dough starter, you can substitute 1 cup bread flour (of course, it will no longer be sour dough!)
