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!
