FOCACCIA RED PEPPER & ONION



Focaccia Red Pepper & Onion image

I love pizza, focaccia, and bread so much. I don't even think I know anyone who doesn't like pizza. But I do like a little variety and one of my favorite things is the combination of red peppers, Parmesan reggiano cheese and caramelized onions. This dough recipe actually makes enough to make two separate doughs, however I like to...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 c all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 package yeast
1 egg
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 c warm water 110-115 degrees
1-2 c shaved Parmesan reggiano cheese
2 whole red peppers sliced
2 onions, vidalia, peeled and sliced thin
IT'S BEST IF ALL THE INGREDIENTS ARE MEASURED IN THE BEGINNING AND SET ASIDE

Steps:

  • 1. Take egg out of fridge and let it get to room temperature.
  • 2. Take water, honey, yeast and place into stand mixer- let yeast foam.
  • 3. Add olive oil to water. Add 1 cup out of your 5 cups of flour and use the paddle to mix until well incorporated.
  • 4. Switch to kneading hook and add the rest of the flour - knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • 5. Place dough on a smooth floured surface - form into a ball.
  • 6. Spray a bowl with cooking spray and cover.
  • 7. In the meantime sauté peppers and onions with a little bit of olive oil salt n pepper while dough rises. Set aside.
  • 8. When pizza has risen about 45 minutes take it a punch down roll onto your board form back into a ball and allow to rise again bowl let it rise again.
  • 9. Cover your hands with flour, grab the piece of dough. My suggestion from experience is that you should have it and on floured surface start punching down the dough. When you see the dough is pliable, start using your hands. I come from underneath start to stretch the dough out for outward into a rectangular shape. Add a little corn meal or semolina flour to your pizza peel and stretch your pizza, or roll it out to your desired shape & place on the pizza peel.
  • 10. Take a little olive oil with a brush and lightly brush the surface of the dough.
  • 11. Add the lightly sautéed onions and peppers and spread evenly across the cross leaving a little room on the edge for the crust.
  • 12. Take your cheese and sprinkle it lightly all over the top of the peppers and the onions until well covered. Sometimes I even put a little extra :-)
  • 13. Bake on convection roast at 550° for about 10 minutes rotating once halfway through.
  • 14. Using a pizza cutter or a serrated edge knife cut into as many pieces as you would like. Mangia!

RED ONION & SAGE FOCACCIA (BREAD MACHINE)



Red Onion & Sage Focaccia (bread Machine) image

This comes from a great cookbook I've had for awhile, "Bread Machine, how to cook and prepare the perfect loaf" by Jennifer Shapter. This was the best focaccia I've ever had, and I can't wait to make it again. It tastes great with some lightly salted & peppered olive oil. NOTE: I used dried sage, and it came out just fine. Preparation time is the time it takes in the bread machine, plus rising time, plus time for prepping.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h20m

Yield 1 focaccia

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cups unbleached white flour

  • Add the salt and sugar in separate corners.

  • When the cycle has finished, remove the dough from the pan and place it on a surface lightly dusted with flour.
  • Punch the dough down and flatten it slightly.
  • Sprinkle over the sage and red onion and knead it gently to incorporate.
  • Shape the dough into a ball, flatten it, then roll it into a round of about 10-11 inches.
  • Place in the prepared pan.
  • Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F Uncover the risen focaccia, and using your fingertips, poke the dough to make deep dimples over the surface.
  • Cover and let rise for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in bulk.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over and sprinkle with the onion, sage leaves, sea salt and black pepper.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
  • Turn out onto a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a high-quality olive oil and make sure the dough is well-oiled before baking.
  • If you don't have a baking stone, you can use a large baking sheet. Just make sure to preheat it in the oven before adding the dough.
  • To get the perfect golden-brown color, keep an eye on the focaccia while it's baking and adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Once the focaccia is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
  • Focaccia is best served warm, but it can also be stored at room temperature for a few days. You can also freeze focaccia for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Focaccia is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings. It's perfect for a quick and easy meal, or as a side dish to your favorite soup or salad. With its crispy crust and fluffy interior, focaccia is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
