Would love to try this but with my sourdough starter. Can you please tell me how I could use my sourdough starter instead of the yeast? Thank you
This bread is SO GOOD. Like, run to the kitchen and make it now! It’s not too sweet, yet is perfectly spiced and pumpkin-y. The streusel is delicious, and to set things over the top, I did a quick little cinnamon glaze on top. This stuff is literal perfection.
