Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  2. Add the Pumpkin and Oil: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree and olive oil until just mixed.
  3. Incorporate the Water: Gradually pour in the room temperature water while stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Rest the Dough: Cover the bowl and let it rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature.
