Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g active sourdough starter (about 1 cup)
- 400 g warm water (about 1⅔ cups, between 100℉-110℉)
- 10 g salt (1½ teaspoons)
- 510 g unbleached flour (about 3½ cups)
- Avocado cooking spray or cooking spray of choice for spring (2nd mixing bowl and baking dish)
- 1 15 ounce can of sliced peaches (drained and finely chopped, or 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 13 ounce jar of peach preserves (to spread on top of baked focaccia)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (very cold)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine active sourdough starter and warm water. Whisk to combine until starter is evenly dissolved.
- Add salt and flour to mixture, whisk to combine to form a sticky dough. Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Perform 1 set of stretch and folds on dough after resting.
- Transfer dough to a greased mixing bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let sit for about 3 hours or until expanded by 50% to 75%.
- Prepare a 9×13 glass baking dish lined with parchment paper and transfer proofed dough into it.
- Cover with a damp kitchen towel for a 2nd rise for 1 hour or until nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425℉ (220℃) while making the peach topping.
- Stir diced peaches, sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together, then pour it over the focaccia dough and push down lightly.
- Bake focaccia at 425℉ (220℃) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, then cool completely.
- Chill mixing bowl and whisk, then add heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to make homemade whipped cream.
- Once focaccia has cooled, spread peach preserves on top, followed by a thick layer of whipped cream. Add additional peach preserves on top, dust with powdered sugar, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
- For same-day baking, place dough in an oven (not turned on) with oven light on to help it rise.
- Visual cues are key to check for dough readiness rather than relying on a timer.
- Store leftovers in the fridge.
