Focaccia is an Italian type of bread, made in a similar way as pizza. It's often used as a base for sandwiches or eaten just like that, as a snack. It's fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It appears most often for dinner or parties among friends in my house - everyone happily reaches for a portion of this bread. With the right toppings, it can turn into an edible work of art. A beautiful picture "painted" with vegetable pieces in an autumn version always brings delight to the faces of my guests. Today, I will show you exactly how to create such a piece.

Focaccia with pumpkin

Ingredients:

  • 1.3 lbs of pizza dough,
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil,
  • 1/2 small hakkido pumpkin,
  • 1/2 red onion,
  • 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary,
  • tablespoon of sea salt,
  • 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan.

Method of preparation:

Step 1: I generously coat the baking sheet with olive oil, spreading it in the dish. I put the pizza dough inside, drizzle it with oil, cover it with foil or a large board and set it aside for 30 minutes to allow it to rise a bit more.

Step 2: Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the pulp with seeds using a spoon. Cut the pumpkin halves into thin slices along with the skin.

Step 3: I drizzle the risen dough with olive oil once more and stretch it in the baking sheet. Using my fingers, I create indentations and arrange pieces of pumpkin and slices of onion to create a colorful picture. You will see exactly how to do this in the recipe video.

Step 4: Sprinkle everything with sea salt and grated parmesan and put it in an oven preheated to 428 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for about 15 minutes.

Step 5: I transfer the ready-made focaccia onto a large plate. I only cut it when serving, so as not to destroy the vegetable composition immediately. It tastes good both hot and cold. Enjoy!
