  3. Drain pumpkin, reserving liquid.
  4. Mash pumpkin and puree in blender or food processor.
  5. Allow pumpkin puree and reserved liquid cool to lukewarm.

  10. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
  11. Make a well in the centre.
  12. Pour in yeast mixture.
  13. Add pumpkin puree.

  15. If it's too dry, add a little bit of the reserved liquid.
  16. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface.
  17. Knead until very smooth, silky and elastic (about 10 minutes).
  18. Place dough in a clean bowl, covering with a dish towel.

  21. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  22. Shape dough into a round loaf.
  23. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
