Rise, Rise, RISE from the Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Focaccia bread requires yeast to get a nice bubbly rise. Big bubbles and holes in the bread are telltale signs of a perfect focaccia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to get the bubble party started you will need to resurrect your yeast from the dead with the help of luke warm water and a pinch of sugar. Big bubbles should start forming as your yeast comes back to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also helpful once you’ve made your dough to use a square box to rise the dough. This will help it hold it’s shape on the pan and fill it all the way to the edges. You can use a round bowl to let the dough rise as well, but you will more likely end up with a oval shaped loaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tempting Toppings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Picking the perfect toppings for your focaccia pumpkin patch is easy! Ingredients like sweet potatoes and peppers are best on focaccia before it’s baked so that they bake their flavors into the bread directly. Other seasonings like the Green Goddess blend from Trader Joes add notes of savory flavor throughout the focaccia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
