HALLOWEEN FOCACCIA

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil for pan
1 ½ cups warm water
3 tbsp olive oil
1 ¼ tsp salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1 tbsp olive oil to brush toppings
1/4 kabocha squash, thinly sliced
3 sprigs of sage
1 tsp salt
2 cloves of fresh garlic, chopped

Instructions

Drizzle 2 tbsps of olive oil in a 9″ x 13″ pan.
In a large bowl, combine warm water, olive oil, salt, flour, and active dry yeast and mix together with a rubber spatula until the liquid is fully incorporated.
Use hands to mix for 2-3 minutes until a tacky dough is formed and some elasticity is worked into the dough.
Transfer dough to the prepared pan. Cover and let the dough rise for about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Lightly poke fingertips into the top of the focaccia, forming the distinctive pillowy effect.
Coat the thinly sliced kabocha squash and sage with olive oil to prevent charring and arrange in a pumpkin shape pattern lightly on top of the dough.
Top with additional salt and garlic to taste.
Transfer to the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven when the focaccia is golden brown.
Serve and enjoy warm!
