Description
A delightful combination of sweet strawberries and tangy lemonade in a fluffy sourdough focaccia.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400 grams strawberry lemonade, 1 ¾ cups
- 150 grams active sourdough starter, ½ cup + 2 Tablespoons
- 10 grams salt, 1 ½ teaspoon
- 500 grams bread flour, 3 ⅔ cups
- zest of 1 lemon
- 80 grams diced strawberries, ½ cup
- 140 grams strawberry jam, ½ cup
- 56 grams butter, divided, 4 Tablespoons
- 120 grams powdered sugar, 1 cup (for glaze)
- 30 grams strawberry lemonade, 2 Tablespoons (for glaze)
Instructions
- In a bowl or straight edge container, mix together the strawberry lemonade, lemon zest, active starter, and salt until the starter is dissolved with a dough whisk. Add the bread flour and mix until a shaggy dough is formed. Let sit in a warm spot covered for about 30 minutes.
- Perform 2-3 sets of stretch and folds to develop the gluten in the dough with at least a 30 minute rest in between each set. Add the diced strawberries during the first set of stretch and folds.
- Continue to let the dough rise for bulk fermentation until it is risen 50% and is jiggly with bubbles forming around the sides of the bowl. With dough in the mid 70’s F, the first rise will take about 5 hours from the time it is mixed.
- Add 2 Tablespoons of melted butter in a greased 9×13 pan and add the focaccia dough. Coat both sides with butter. Spread out the dough and then spread the jam on top of the dough and then fold the dough in half.
- Let it rise another hour or two covered in a warm spot until it has risen well and is puffy.
- Melt the remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter and add on top of the dough. Dimple the dough with your fingers and bake in the oven at 425°F degrees for 27-30 minutes.
- While the focaccia is baking, whisk together powdered sugar and strawberry lemonade to make the glaze. If your glaze is too thick add another Tablespoon of strawberry lemonade.
- After the focaccia has finished baking, add it to a cooling rack and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active for the best results.
- Use fresh strawberries for optimum flavor.
- Allow the dough to rise until the proper texture is achieved for the best bread consistency.
