Servings 9 focaccine

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g of 00 flour
  • 200 g of cooked pumpkin
  • 200 ml of water
  • 15 g of EVO oil
  • 10 g of yeast
  • 12 g of salt
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • 250 g of taleggio cheese
  • 200 g of Prosciutto di San Daniele

Instructions
 

  • Start by roasting the pumpkin in foil with rosemary and sage at 200°C, until it has a soft consistency (around an hour). Alternatively, to speed things up, cook it in a pan.
  • Once cooked, mash the pumpkin and leave it to cool, then mix it with flour, water, yeast, salt and oil. Knead until you get a soft, smooth mixture and let it rise for 3 hours at room temperature.
  • Then, make nine 100 g balls and let it rise in an oiled dough cutter until it has doubled in size (around 2 hours). At this point, brush with oil, press your fingers into the dough and add crunchy pumpkin seeds.
  • Put into the bottom of a fan oven and bake for 15-20 minutes at 190°C.
  • Once cooked, cut in half and fill with cream of taleggio and some slices of Prosciutto di San Daniele.
