Instructions

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook, combine water, yeast, and sugar until dissolved. Wait 5 – 10 minutes for mixture to foam (proof).
2. Stir in corn, onion, jalapeño, cornmeal, chili powder, salt, and 3 ½ cups flour. Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead 10 minutes with dough hook
3. Line a 12" x 18" half sheet pan with parchment. Generously butter the parchment.
4. Using wet fingertips, gently stretch and press the dough from the center to the outer edge to fit the pan. Brush the top wih half of the melted butter. Using your fingertips, press deep dimples at 1-inch intervals all over the dough.
5. Cover with greased plastic wrap; let the dough rise until light, about 45 minutes. Near the end of the rise, preheat oven to 400°F.
6. When ready to bake, gently dimple the dough again. Drizzle the remaining melted butter over dough’s surface. If desired, sprinkle with salt.
7. Bake 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Transfer the focaccia from the baking sheet by lifting the parchment onto a rack. Remove parchment and turn it out onto rack. Slice into approximately 1 ½" x 3" pieces. Serve warm.
