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.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup very warm water
3 tablespoons very warm water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
6 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon herbes de Provence, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, bread flour, white sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and active dry yeast, respectively, in the pan of a bread machine. Select pizza cycle; press Start.
  • Combine crushed garlic and 1/3 cup olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside to let it steep, about 30 minutes.
  • Combine Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion powder, and herbes de Provence in another small bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Deflate dough and turn out into the baking sheet. Stretch dough gently out to 1/2-inch thickness, using your fingers to make dimples that will hold the toppings.
  • Pour garlic and oil mixture onto dough and spread it evenly over the dough and edges with your hands. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle dough with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer from the baking sheet to a rack. Let cool, 5 minutes. Cut into squares with a pizza cutter.

FOCACCIA WITH FRESH HERBS



Focaccia With Fresh Herbs image

This is one of my adopted recipes. It's actually very good and makes a nicely textured focaccia - you can vary the toppings - it's a great bread you can be creative with....I highly recommend using a heavy cast iron skillet that has been lightly oiled. It makes an excellent crust!

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup water (105-110 F)
2 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon table salt
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Divided)
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as basil,Rosemary,oregano or marjoram)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Sprinkle yeast and sugar into 1/2 cup of the water - do not stir.
  • Let stand 10 minutes or until the surface becomes bubbly.
  • In large bowl, combine flour and table salt.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Stir with wooden spoon or electric mixer, and slowly add remaining 1/4 cup water - dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes, adding small spoonfuls of flour if necessary.
  • If you are using a stand mixer, you may continue using the dough hook setting rather than turning out on the board as mentioned in step 6.
  • When dough is smooth and elastic, place in bowl and cover with plastic wrap or damp cloth.
  • Let rise in a warm place- about 80-85 degrees - until doubled in bulk, for 1 hour.
  • Turn onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently several times.
  • Flatten into 10-inch circle. Place on an oiled baking stone, pizza pan or heavy cookie sheet (I use a large cast iron skillet). Press indentations into the surface of the dough with fingers to make "dimples." Loosely cover and let rise about 15 minutes, or until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • In a blender or mortar and pestle, combine remaining 3 Tbsp olive oil and herbs until leaves are broken up and oil is fragrant.
  • Pour over dough. Rub gently into surface. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
  • Bake 15 minutes, reduce heat to 400°F.
  • Bake 5 minutes more, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool and cut into wedges.
