Thanksgiving Stuffing Focaccia Food

ROSEMARY FOCACCIA STUFFING WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and butter a 3-quart baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
• Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in the skillet, then add the onion, celery, sun-dried tomatoes, sage, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Whisk the eggs and parsley in a large bowl. Add the focaccia, ciabatta, pancetta, vegetable-broth mixture and fontina; stir until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the turkey drippings (or dot with butter); sprinkle with the parmesan.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden, about 30 more minutes.

THANKSGIVING FOCACCIA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, kosher salt, chicken bouillon, and yeast. Pour in the chicken stock and honey and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms and no dry spots remain.
• Grease another large bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer the dough to the greased bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit overnight in the refrigerator. The dough should double in size.
• Make the filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until no longer pink, 5-6 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside. Reserve ¼ cup of the sausage for topping the focaccia.
• Wipe out any excess grease from the skillet with a paper towel. Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the onion, apples, and celery. Season with kosher salt and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, sage, parsley, and thyme and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cooked sausage. Let the filling cool to room temperature.
• Assemble the focaccia: Grease an 8 x 13-inch baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, using your hands to spread the oil all around the pan to coat. Divide the dough in half and transfer one portion to the oiled pan. With oiled hands, gently stretch the dough to fill the baking sheet.
• Spread the filling over the dough, then press the remaining dough over the filling, making sure to seal the edges so the filling is encased between the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let proof at room temperature for 1-2 hours, until the dough rises to fill the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Remove the plastic wrap and drizzle the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Use your fingers to dimple the surface of the dough. Garnish with the reserved cooked sausage, apple slices, sage leaves, thyme, flaky salt, and black pepper.
• Bake the focaccia for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
• Remove the focaccia from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
