Mix well. Set aside the remaining flour until later. • Cut in the butter until mixture is dry and crumbly. Add in the sourdough starter, pumpkin puree and maple syrup. Stir until ingredients are mixed well. • Begin adding remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms into a soft ball. Knead gently until it is no longer sticky, adding small amounts of flour as necessary. Depending on the type of flour you use you might not need all three cups to get a soft, pliable ball. • Pinch off 12 pieces of the dough (approximately 1.5”) and place evenly on the parchment paper • Bake at 350 o for about 25 minutes or until the top is crusty and golden brown. * Sourdough is a fermentation called a “starter” that when added to bread dough, allows it to rise naturally. The bacteria in sourdough help to break down the proteins, including gluten, making the bread more nutritious and lowering its glycemic effects.
