    1 Preheat oven to 170ºC. Lightly spray a baking tray with oil.

    2 Over a saucepan of simmering water, steam pumpkin until tender. Drain. Transfer to a bowl, mash until smooth. Set pumpkin aside to cool.

    3 Into a large bowl, sift flours and baking powder, then add flour husks. Rub spread into flour with your fingers until well combined.

    4 Add egg and milk to mashed pumpkin, stir until well combined. Add pumpkin mixture, basil, roasted capsicum and spinach to flour mixture. Use a butter knife to stir until just combined. Turn dough onto a lightly floured clean work surface and knead until just smooth.

    5 Shape dough into an 18cm circle. Place on prepared tray and, with a sharp knife, mark dough surface into 8 wedges. Bake for 30 minutes, or until damper sounds hollow when tapped and a skewer comes out cleanly. Serve warm or cold.
