Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Water (lukewarm)
• 0.5 cups Pumpkin seeds
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil (optional, for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Add the lukewarm water to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a shaggy, sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Fold in the pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm spot to rise for 12-18 hours. The dough should become bubbly and double in size.

Step 5

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a heavy-duty Dutch oven with its lid inside the oven to heat for about 30 minutes.

Step 6

Generously flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. With floured hands, shape the dough into a round loaf or desired shape. Let it rest for 30 minutes while the Dutch oven is heating.

Step 7

Carefully remove the heated Dutch oven from the oven. If desired, grease the bottom with a teaspoon of olive oil. Transfer the dough into the Dutch oven (seam side down).

Step 8

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Carefully remove the bread from the Dutch oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
