FOCACCIA



Focaccia image

Focaccia is one of my favorite bread recipes. It's one of the least labor-intensive since there isn't any kneading. The dough is very wet, which is perfect for a tender, yet chewy, bread with a very distinct salt bite. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor

Provided by Taste of Home

Time 45m

Yield 2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
1 tablespoon honey
3 cups (375 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2-cup warm water and honey; let stand for 5 minutes. Add flour, 1/4 cup oil, salt and remaining 3/4-cup water; mixing until smooth (dough will be wet). Scrape the sides of the bowl clean; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes., Preheat oven to 425°. Brush a 13x9-in. baking pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Gently scrape dough directly into pan. With oiled hands, gently spread dough. If dough springs back, wait 10 minutes and stretch again. Make indentations in the dough with your fingers. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; let rise until doubled in size, 30-40 minutes. , If desired, sprinkle with sea salt. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cut into squares; serve warm.

Mini Caramelized Onion Focaccia image

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 mini focaccias

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon superfine or regular granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted in microwave for 1 minute
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 large red onions, peeled and sliced about 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Cornmeal, for dusting baking sheets
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
About 20 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
4 ounces firm plain goat cheese, roughly crumbled, refrigerated until ready to use

Steps:

  • For dough:
  • Whisk together the warm water, yeast, sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl; let stand until yeast is dissolved, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk 1 1/4 cups flour and salt together in a medium bowl. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture clumps together. Mix until incorporated. Add more flour, a little at a time, if dough is too wet.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; roll each into a ball. Place on a flour-dusted baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes. (Dough can be made up to this point 1 day ahead. Keep covered and refrigerate.)
  • For caramelized onions:
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion slices to skillet and season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook onions without turning until they are softened and beginning to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add sherry vinegar and honey and stir well to incorporate; reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until onions are tender and brown, occasionally stirring gently, about 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt.
  • Remove skillet from heat and cool. (Onions can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle 2 baking sheets lightly with cornmeal. Roll out each dough ball to 3 to 4-inch rounds. Transfer 6 rounds to each prepared baking sheet. Pierce dough all over with fork. Brush generously with extra-virgin olive oil. Arrange onions evenly atop each round, leaving 1/4-inch plain border. Top with thyme leaves. Bake flatbreads until crusts are puffed and golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese on top of each mini focaccia. Transfer to serving platter and serve immediately.
