  1. Place the yeast and hot water in a large bowl and stir with a fork to dissolve the yeast. Allow to stand for about 3 min.
  2. Add in the honey, pumpkin puree, lowfat milk, egg yolks, cornmeal, and 1 2/3 c. (8 ounces) of the high-gluten flour to the yeast mix. Stir briskly with a whisk till the ingredients are well combined. Let this sponge stand for at least 15 min but not longer than 30 min.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining 2 1/3 c. (11 3/4 ounces)
  4. high-gluten flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt together to mix well.
  5. Add in to the sponge and stir with your fingers to incorporat e the flour, scraping the sides of the bowl and folding the dough over itself till it gathers into a shaggy mass. Knead the dough in the bowl till it becomes smooth and somewhat elastic, about 5 min. Gradually add in the melted butter, kneading it in gently till well incorporated.
  6. Move the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead till it is very smooth, silky, and elastic, about 5 min. The dough will be sticky, so keep the work surface and your hands lightly floured, but do not overdo it.
  7. The dough should be soft, supple, and springy. Shape the dough into a loose ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 20 min. (This rest period is the autolyse.)
  8. Flatten the dough and stretch it gently with your fingers to create a rectangle about an inch thick. Spread the toasted pecans proportionately over the rectangle. Fold the whole mass into an envelope and knead it gently till the nuts are well distributed, about 2 to 3 min. If the dough resists, let it rest for 5 min and then continue kneading it. Some of the pecans may pop out of the dough, but they can easily be incorporated again after the first rise, when the dough has softened.
  9. Shape the dough into a loose ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, along with any loose pecans. Turn to coat the dough with oil, then cover the bowl tightly with oiled plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature (75 degrees to 77 degrees F) till it has doubled in volume, about 2 hrs.
  10. While the bread is rising, make a cornstarch wash: Put the cool water in a small saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently till it thickens. Remove from the heat and cover to keep a skin from forming. Set aside to cold.
  11. When the dough has doubled, gently pour it out of the bowl onto the floured work surface, pressing in any loose nuts. Flour your hands lightly and gently divide the dough into 2 equal pcs (each weighing about 24 ounces). Shape each piece into a knot.
  12. Generously dust a peel or possibly the bottom of a baking sheet with flour or possibly coarse cornmeal. Carefully place the shaped loaves on the peel or possibly sheet, leaving several inches between them so they will not grow into each other as they rise. Cover the dough with oiled plastic wrap and allow it to rise at room temperature till it has just doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs.
  13. Thirty min before baking, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a baking stone in the oven to preheat and place an empty water pan directly below the stone.
  14. When the loaves have doubled, use a pastry brush to paint each loaf
