These easy pumpkin focaccia donuts are something I learned from my family growing up, and I’m excited to share this seasonal twist. Whenever we made pizza or focaccia, my grandmother would save a little of the dough, and after dinner would fry it up, toss it in sugar, and serve it for dessert. I’ve added pumpkin and spices, a hot honey icing, and toasted pepitas to bring in the fall flavors. The texture is amazing—crusty and chewy on the outside, tender and airy on the inside. Enjoy!
