Add wets to drys and using a spatula, mix together until dough forms. Add pumpkin seeds and mix.

Shape the dough into a 9-inch log and place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. (I used the parchment paper to shape the log). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and then with a dishcloth. Allow to rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until the dough almost doubles in size
