INGREDIENTS
- 38 x 26cm sheet pan
- 500g Risen Flour Focaccia Pizza bread mix
- 400g water
- 8g instant yeast
- 50g sugar
- 3g cinnamon (1tsp)
TOPPING
- 3 large green apples peeled cored and chopped into smallish pieces (any apple will do)
PASTE TOPPING
- 170g butter
- 100g dark brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ tbsp mixed spice
CRUMBLE TOPPING
- 90 g rolled oats
- 100 g flour , plain
- 50g Semolina, coarse
- 175 g brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 125 g unsalted butter , melted
- Pinch of salt
POST BAKE
- 100g melted butter
Place Topping ingredients in a bowl. Mix until clumps form, like wet sand and spread over the apples, crumbling with fingers if required to get that crumbly topping.
METHOD
In your food processor / Thermomix / or by hand
- Mix bread mix, water and yeast. (SEE NOTE BELOW)
- Knead until full gluten development has been reached.
- In a bowl pour a little olive oil in and place dough on top
- Coat dough with the oil, cover and allow to rise at 30deg C for around 25 min.
- In the meantime take your sheet pan and pour oil to coat pan – a good covering is just fine, you need more than just a spray of oil.
- Once dough has risen take it out of the bowl and place in the sheet pan, try to stretch It out as much as you can without tearing it. If it won’t stretch then leave it to rest and every now and then just give it a gentle tug to the corners. It will naturally spread too.
- Cover and allow to rise
- Once risen place chopped apple all over the dough
- Pour over cinnamon butter topping.
- Lastly Crumble the crumble over the dough.
- Bake at 190degc for around 20min – if it begins to brown too soon place foil on top.
- Once it comes out the oven pour melted butter over slice and enjoy.
- Can be frozen in foil and reheated.
Note
In a Thermomix mix for 6min
In food processer mix until you get a nicely smooth dough about 10min
