Step 1

Preheat oven to 220C or 200C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 2

Mash 2/3 cup pumpkin. Dice remaining pumpkin and set aside. Place flour and salt into a large bowl. Add butter and using fingertips, rub butter into flour until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add mashed pumpkin, fetta and chopped rosemary and stir to combine. Make a well in centre. Add buttermilk. Using a flat bladed knife, stir until a dough forms.

Step 3

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently to form a rectangle. Cut dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 4cm thick log. Place onto prepared tray and plait dough together. Top with reserved diced pumpkin and rosemary sprigs, pressing lightly into dough.

Step 4

Brush with extra buttermilk. Bake for 15-20 mins, until hollow sounding when tapped. Break into pieces and serve with butter, if using.
