We used to go to a restaurant here that has closed down. They made the best focaccia I have ever tasted. It was light and fluffy, not at all like a pizza crust. This is my take on it. I use my Kitchen Aid mixer when making this, I am sure a breadmaker on the dough cycle would work as well. Feel free to use different herbs. I will sprinkle parmesan cheese on top some days. Italian seasoning also works well. Serve chunks of this focaccia with a good quality olive oil & balsamic vinegar to dip it in. I hope you find your way back here to let me know what you think of this focaccia. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water |
2 teaspoons instant yeast |
2 teaspoons sugar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 1/2 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
dried thyme |
dried oregano |
dried basil |
coarse salt |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Beat for 2 minutes, dough will form a ball.
3. Place dough on a floured surface, dust top with flour (the dough will be very soft & sticky, the dusting of flour will help you handle it).
4. Pat & stretch dough into 8 square.
5. Place in parchment lined 9 x 9 baking dish.
6. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle desired herbs on dough.
7. Cover with plastic wrap & let rise for 1 hour.
8. Bake at 400° for about 25 minutes.
9. Remove from pan & cool on wire rack.
10. Serve warm or at room temperature with oil & vinegar to dip.
