This vegan pumpkin focaccia bread ranks high on my list of favorite fall recipes at the moment.<\/p>\n

It's warm, pillowy, easy to make, and packed with pumpkin.<\/p>\n

Like other bread recipes I've shared with you, this one isn't at all fussy. The knead time is minimal, the ingredients are few (and easy to find), and the technique doesn't involve any fancy equipment. Just a bowl or two, a spoon, and your hands will do.<\/p>\n

To make it, you'll start by whisking together a bit of warm water, yeast, and maple syrup. Let the mixture stand until a foam develops across the surface.<\/p>\n

Then, combine the yeast mixture with spelt flour, pumpkin puree, a bit of olive oil, and sea salt. Use a spoon to stir until just combined. Then, turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface.<\/p>\n

Knead the dough for just two to three minutes, or until it's smooth and springy. The gluten structure in spelt is delicate, so it requires much less kneading that traditional flour.<\/p>\n

Once you're done kneading, shape the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and tuck it away in a cozy spot in your kitchen to rise for one hour.<\/p>\n

Once the first rise is complete, knead the dough for a quick 15 seconds. Then, form it into a rectangle-ish shape, brush with olive oil, and top with sliced red onion, chopped rosemary, and sea salt.<\/p>\n

Cover and allow the dough to rise for another 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.<\/p>\n

After the second rise, bake the loaf for about 30 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and slightly crisp.<\/p>\n

Then, slice and serve.<\/p>\n

This simple vegan pumpkin focaccia bread is easy on the eyes, super satisfying, and makes an excellent addition to a holiday spread. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!<\/p>\n
