Leftover potato focaccia

Share

Inspired by @maxlamanna ‘s potato rolls recipe, today I’ve baked a beautiful focaccia with leftover potato. Deeelish and 0 waste ✨

(Pic 1 – baked focaccia
Pic 2 – proofed potato focaccia dough)

500 g strong flour

2 sweet potatoes (leftovers), baked and mashed

7 g dried instant yeast

2 tsp salt

40 ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

250 ml warm water

Fresh thyme

Flaky salt

In a large bowl mix together the flour, yeast, mashed potatoes and salt, then add enough warm water and mix well. Continue with the oil and the rest of the water until the dough begins to form.

On a lightly floured surface, put the dough and knead for 7-10 minutes or until smooth.

Put the dough into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 250 C and prepare a springform pan with parchment paper.

Transfer the dough to the baking pan and use your fingers to make dimples.

Drizzle with olive oil, salt and thyme and rest for another 30 minutes. Bake until golden brown, about 20 -30 minutes.

Enjoy!
