Pumpkin Focaccia
Description
This focaccia dough integrates pumpkin puree and dried cranberries into a traditional flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil base. After mixing and kneading, the dough is transferred to a greased baking pan where it rests and rises until doubled in size, which usually takes 1 to 2 hours depending on the ambient temperature.
Before baking at 425°F, the dough is dimpled with fingers, drizzled with additional olive oil, and sprinkled with coarse kosher salt, fresh rosemary, and pumpkin seeds. The baking process takes about 20 to 25 minutes, producing a golden crust with pockets of sweetness from the cranberries and herbaceous notes from the rosemary, balanced by the richness of pumpkin.
Once baked, the focaccia is brushed lightly with olive oil and cooled before slicing, offering a soft crumb and aromatic flavor perfect for fall or holiday meals. It can be enjoyed as a side, snack, or for sandwiches.
