1/2 c white mozzerella, grated
1/2 c chedder cheese, grated

8 slice sun dried tomatoes(diced)
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 c mixture of dried onion/ parsley flakes (what i had on hand) or fresh
1 tsp dry thyme
2 large eggs
2 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 1/4 c buttermilk
(OR USE 1 1/4 CUP LESS 1 TBSP FRESH MILK + 1 TBSP WHITE VINEGAR OR LEMON JUICE. SET ASIDE FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE USING)
EGG WASH (OPTIONAL) MADE FROM 1 EGG YOLK BEATEN WITH 2 TSP WATER EXTRA THYME SPRINGS AND SEA SALT, FOR TOPPING

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350* Generously butter a large loaf tin and either line it with butter parchment paper or dust with flour. Set tin aside.
  • 2. Sift flour, baking powder, soda, salt, pepper and mustard powder into a large bowl. Whisk with a whisk to incorporate the dry ingredients. Add both cheeses, olives, sun dried tomatoes,onion,garlic, parsley and thyme and stir them thoroughly together.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the oil and buttermilk until they are well combined.
  • 4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir together to form a thick, sticky batter. Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and spread it out evenly.
  • 5. Brush the top of the batter with the egg wash and then sprinkle some thyme leaves and sea salt onto the loaf.
  • 6. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until a fine skewer inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. If the top starts to burn, place a piece of foil to cover the top of the loaf and continue baking. Leave in tin for 5 minutes before turning ot onto a wire rack. This loaf is best served on the same day. Wrap left overs tightly and store in fridge. Gently reheat in oven if serving left overs.
  • 7. Made me think that this would pair good with Hummus, and make these into drop dinner rolls, Going to have to give that a try and see if they even come out as good as the bread itself! Hope you give this bread a try at your dinner table!!! Enjoy!

DELICIOUSLY EASY GARLIC HERB FOCACCIA



Deliciously Easy Garlic Herb Focaccia image

Make focaccia in an hour. Or a little longer if your bread machine doesn't have a pizza cycle. Also great as a pizza dough! I personally use 2 cups unbleached bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. As with most recipes I have created - they are a base on which to build.
