Pumpkin and corn flour focaccia bread

Yield: serves 4/6

Ingredients

Focaccia dough

  • 2.5 cups less 2 tsp (330 g) bread flour (12% proteins)
  • 1/8 cup + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp (40 g) fine corn flour
  • 4 tbsp + 2 tsp (70 g) water
  • 5 tbsp + 2 tsp (85 g) whole fat milk
  • 1 cup + 1 tbsp (240 g) pumpkin purée
  • 8,5 lievito di birra fresco
  • 2.5 tbsp (35 g) soft unsalted butter
  • 1+1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt (9.5 g) fine salt

Extra

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • Salt flakes
  • Corn flour

Instructions

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with hook attachment, pour the sifted flours with yeast and pumpkin puree and knead to combine on low speed for 1 or 2 minutes.

Add the milk and water and knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes.

When all the ingredients are completely combined, increase the speed to 3 and knead for 8/10 minutes.

Then, gradually add the butter and knead for 3/4 minutes on speed 3/4.

Then, gradually add the salt and knead on speed 2/3.

When salt is completely incorporated, knead for 2/3 minutes Moore on speed 2/3.

On a lightly floured surface, shape the focaccia dough into a ball, place into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double in size.

On a lightly floured surface, stretch and fold the dough, cover with a bowl and let set for 40/45 minuti.

Gently deflate the dough, grease a 9x12 inches (23x32 cm) baking tin and then stretch it out to fill the pan until almost the edges.

Cover the pan with cling wrap and put in a warm place for 90/120 minutes.

Heat fan oven at 355F - 180°C.

Drizzle dough with extra virgin olive oil and gently rub over surface so the whole surface is covered with oil; poke all your fingers into the dough, repeatedly across the surface.

Scatter with salt flakes, chopped rosemary and corn flour, then bake for 25 minutes.

Turn out onto a cooling rack. 

Leave to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
