Focaccia Bread, So Yummy!! image

I don't think I've met a Bread I didn't like!! I have made this plain and with herbs. You can choose for yourself what herbs you want to use, I personally do not like oregano eww.. I have never liked the flavor or the smell something about it just turns me off. I have used rosemary and garlic this was to die for :) So just play with this recipe and make to your liking:) This is not the focaccia bread in the pic it is my ciabatta bread, I didnt have a pic of the focaccia yet :( I will post one as soon as I make it again

1 teaspoon(s) active dry yeast
1 cup(s) water, warm
2 teaspoon(s) salt

  • Next day, slowly add 1 cup a warm water and 2 tsp of salt and add just enough flour to make a dough when the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, turn out onto a floured surface knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough that is smooth and elastic around 10 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl and cover, let rise in a warm place until double.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured baking sheet place the bowl over top of the dough and let rest for 30 minutes
  • While dough is resting pre heat oven to 475
  • Shape dough into a circle around 10 or 11 inches, use your finger tips lightly not to over stretch or deflate dough
  • Make 1/2 inch indentations every 2 inches, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. ENJOY!!!
