The recipe for this tall and ultra-soft pumpkin focaccia I found on Apron’s site on YOUTUBE, and it is very, very good with an extreme softness!

I used the quantity indicated on the site, but I expected it to be more “yellow,” and perhaps I did not use the right variety of pumpkin, alas!!

The important thing, however, is the light taste and the fantastic softness that is truly extraordinary! I stuffed the FOCACCIA with some SPECK and a slice of PROVOLA, and it was my lunch, much appreciated!

  • Bowls

Steps

  • 1) In the amount of water that I put in a pitcher, I added the sugar and instant dry yeast and after stirring, I also added the PUMPKIN PUREE boiled and strained.

    2) I also poured in the extra virgin olive oil and mixed it all very well.

    3) In a bowl, I put the 2 flours and added this liquid, also adding the fine salt.

    4) I mixed well with a spatula making a soft dough, which I covered and let rest for 15 minutes.

  • 5) After the resting time, I greased my hands and, taking the dough from the edges, brought it to the center, proceeding around the entire circumference about 8 times.

    6) I covered the dough again and let it rise for another 60 minutes.

  • 7) I then repeated these folds and after oiling the bottom of a rectangular baking dish of about 10.5 x 8 inches, I spread the dough with my fingers.

    8) I then put a few pumpkin cubes and a few red onion slices, a drizzle of EVO oil, 2 pinches of salt, and let it rise for 15 minutes, then baked at 430°F for about 20/25 minutes or according to your oven’s characteristics.

  • HERE IS THE ULTRA-SOFT PUMPKIN FOCACCIA!
    Enjoy your meal!
