Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the bread flour, whole wheat flour, pecans, chocolate chips, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir well with a rubber spatula.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, pumpkin purée, and maple syrup.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula to stir until the dough just comes together. With your hands, knead the dough in the bowl until there are no dry, floury spots remaining. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place for 60 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
- Using the spatula, fold the dough toward the center of the bowl 8 times, rotating the bowl each time. Cover with the towel and let rest for 30 minutes more.
- Place a Dutch oven with a lid in the oven, and preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) for 30 minutes.
- Lightly dust a clean surface and your hands with flour. Carefully turn the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface. Fold the edges of the dough towards the center 8 times, then flip the dough over and transfer to a piece of parchment paper.
- Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven (it will be very hot) and use the parchment to lift the bread into the pot. Cover with the lid.
- Bake the bread for 35 minutes. Remove the lid and reduce the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 15 more minutes, until the bread is golden brown.
- Carefully slide the bread out of the pot and onto a wire rack. Remove the parchment paper and let the bread cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Slice the bread and serve as desired.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: It gives the loaf a more intense pumpkin flavor. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the loaf tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller pan will make the loaf too thick and it won't cook evenly.
- Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the loaf cool completely before glazing it: This will help the glaze set properly.
Conclusion:
This pumpkin loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The loaf is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet glaze. It's a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree, and it's also a great gift for friends and family.
