Cranberry Focaccia Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + rising Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

40 10 50

Ingredients

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
5 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, butter, milk powder, salt, pie spice and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. With fingertips, make several dimples over top of dough.
Sprinkle with cranberries and brown sugar. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (12 pieces).
