Pumpkin Focaccia
Winter brings the desire for warm, comforting, and flavorful dishes. Pumpkin, the undisputed queen of the season, meets the leavening power of water kefir, transforming into a soft and fragrant focaccia, ideal for enriching the winter table. Water kefir stimulates the leavening and creates a soft and airy texture with a delicately crispy crust, enhancing the natural sweetness of the pumpkin. The secret of TIBI's leavening power: Water kefir liquid is an extraordinary ally in the kitchen. Thanks to its load of natural bacteria and yeasts, this fermented product accelerates the leavening processes, giving doughs a unique lightness and a complexity of flavor reminiscent of sourdough. In this focaccia, TIBI not only stimulates leavening but helps create a soft and airy texture with a delicately crispy crust. Moreover, the slight acidity of water kefir enhances the natural sweetness of the pumpkin, delivering a flavor balance that will win you over at the first bite.
