Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine your bubbly sourdough starter, flour, room temperature water, and salt until a wet dough forms. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours.
  2. For enhanced flavor, transfer the covered bowl with the dough to the refrigerator and allow it to chill overnight.
  3. Grease a baking pan with extra virgin olive oil. Gently pour the risen dough into the pan and stretch it to fit. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  4. Slice the fresh peaches and gently press them into the dough. Dollop cream cheese around the peaches.
  5. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

Allow the focaccia to cool completely before storage. Wrap tightly for room temperature storage up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
