Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, salt, and granulated sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together warm milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and olive oil.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
- In a medium bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and transfer the risen dough into the pan, stretching it gently toward the edges.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
- Use your fingers to press deep dimples across the dough, allowing the filling to settle into the pockets.
- Cover and let the dough rise again for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 22 to 28 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Allow the focaccia to cool slightly.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm focaccia before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- The dough may feel slightly sticky due to the pumpkin moisture.
- Chopped pecans or walnuts add extra crunch and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Serve slightly warm for the best texture and flavor.
