FOCACCIA (BREAD MACHINE)



Focaccia (Bread Machine) image

My family loves this bread & it is so easy to make. I serve it with Italian food. It is adapted from a recipe in Pizza, Focaccia, Flat, & Filled Breads From your Bread Machine. You may substitute herbs in the topping, or use fresh. The original recipe calls for a roasted vegetable topping, but I am going to post that as a separate recipe because the bread alone is great. (Cooking time includes rising times & will vary with your bread machine cycle).

Cut it into squares and top with Prosciutto Panino rolled in Mozzarella cheese and toasted under the broiler for 5 min.... oh my, this is dangerously good! It is so easy to make.

FOCACCIA (USING BREAD MACHINE FOR THE DOUGH)



Focaccia (Using Bread Machine for the Dough) image

This bread is SO appealing and very versatile too! We often have it in the summertime quartered and sliced horizontally and filled with barbecued chicken thighs, lettuce, sliced red onions, tomatoes and avocado and some Paul Newman's Own Ranch Dressing! Simply divine!! The preparation time I have given does not include the time it takes for the Bread Machine to make the dough or the time it takes for the dough to rise.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 15m

Yield 1 loaf of Italian Flat Bread, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons dried yeast
3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon rosemary (dried)
1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Place all of the above ingredients, accurately measured and in the order I have listed them, in the Bread Machine.
  • Select the 'dough' cycle.
  • When the cycle is complete, take the dough out of the Bread Machine, and proceed with the following steps: On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
  • (you may need to add extra flour during this time) Place the 'Focaccia' dough in a well grease bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm (and draught free) place for about 1/2 an hour.
  • Then, knead the dough lightly (in the bowl) for about 1 minute.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangular shape (about 20 cm x 30 cm)
  • Place on a well greased baking tray (or sponge roll tin) and leave to rise again, in a warm place, this time for about 1 hour (or until it has doubled in it's original size) Now pour and smooth over with your fingers, 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • 'Poke' the dough with 2 fingers at intervals over the surface, and sprinkle liberally with rock salt or equal measurements of olive oil and Basil pesto mixed together with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, top with chopped up sun-dried tomatoes and sliced black olives!
  • YUM!
  • Bake at 225°C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your bread. Use fresh, high-protein flour, and active dry yeast.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Bread making is a science, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or ingredients, and make sure to measure accurately.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an essential step in developing the gluten, which will give your bread a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to activate the yeast and allow the dough to double in size. If your kitchen is cool, you can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior. Bake the bread at 450°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Focaccia bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or used to make sandwiches, pizzas, and other dishes. With a little practice, you can easily make focaccia bread at home using your bread machine. Just follow the tips above and you'll be able to enjoy fresh, homemade focaccia bread in no time.
