Focaccia With Tomatoes and Rosemary image

This beautiful bread is a great way to use summer tomatoes, but the heat from the oven will draw rich, deep flavor from the less flavorful ones found in winter as well.

Time 2h45m

Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons (8 grams) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon (5 grams) sugar
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
2 tablespoons (25 grams) olive oil, plus an additional 2 tablespoons (25 grams) for drizzling
250 grams (approximately 2 cups) whole-wheat flour
200 to 220 grams (approximately 1 2/3 to 1 3/4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour or bread flour, plus additional as needed for kneading
1 3/4 teaspoons (13 grams) salt
3/4 pound Roma tomatoes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (to taste)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a standing mixer, or in a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water. Add the olive oil, whole-wheat flour, 200 grams of the all-purpose flour and salt and mix together briefly using the paddle attachment. Change to the dough hook and beat for 8 to 10 minutes at medium speed, adding flour as necessary. The dough should eventually form a ball around the dough hook and slap against the sides of the bowl as the mixer turns; it will be sticky. Remove from the bowl, flour your hands and knead for a minute on a lightly floured surface, and shape into a ball.
  • If kneading the dough by hand, dissolve the yeast in the water with the sugar as directed. Stir in the olive oil, whole-wheat flour, salt and all-purpose flour by the half-cup, until the dough can be scraped out onto a floured work surface. Knead, adding flour as necessary, for 10 minutes, until the dough is elastic and smooth. Shape into a ball.
  • Clean and dry your bowl and oil lightly with olive oil. Place the dough in it, rounded side down first, then rounded side up. Cover tightly with plastic and let rise in a warm spot for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours, until doubled.
  • Punch down the dough. Cover with lightly oiled plastic and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, preferably with a baking stone in it. Line a sheet pan with parchment and oil generously. Roll or press out the dough into a rectangle the size of the sheet pan or just slightly smaller. To do this efficiently, roll or press out the dough, stop and wait 5 minutes for the gluten to relax, then roll or press out again, and repeat until the dough reaches the right size. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes. Just before baking, use your fingertips to dimple the dough all over.
  • Cut the tomatoes into rounds and place on top of the focaccia. Sprinkle with coarse salt and the rosemary. Drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil over all.
  • Bake, setting the pan on top of the baking stone (if using), for 20 to 25 minutes, until the bread is deep golden brown. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving, or allow to cool completely.

ROSEMARY FOCACCIA



Rosemary Focaccia image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (not lukewarm)
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water. Let stand for a few minutes.
  • In a mixer, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with the paddle attachment), drizzle in the olive oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together in a very sticky mass.
  • Form the dough into a ball, drizzle over olive oil and toss to coat the dough. Then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 to 2 hours, or store in the fridge until you need it.
  • To make focaccia, remove half the dough from the bowl (leave the rest for another time) and place on a lightly floured surface. Place the chopped rosemary on top of the dough, then very gently knead it into the dough. (Don't over knead!) Roll into a large, thin oval. Place on a sheet pan drizzled with olive oil. Drizzle more olive oil on top of the dough, then cover with plastic wrap. Put in a draft-free/warm place for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Remove the plastic wrap (the dough will be puffy) and use your fingertips to press dimples all over the surface of the dough. Drizzle the surface with more olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake until the focaccia is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Cut into pieces with a pizza wheel or sharp knife. Serve immediately.

EASY ROSEMARY FOCACCIA



Easy Rosemary Focaccia image

This easy focaccia bread is flavored with plenty of fresh rosemary and olive oil. So easy, so delicious!

Provided by Anonymous

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Flat Bread Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C), or more as needed
2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped

Steps:

  • Combine 5 tablespoons warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Add flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture; stir well to combine. Stir in 1 tablespoon additional water at a time, if necessary, until all flour is absorbed and mixture has pulled together into a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until springy, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl. Place dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 465 degrees F (240 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Deflate dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly, then pat or roll dough into a sheet and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining oil and make dimples across the surface with your fingertips. Sprinkle with rosemary leave and extra salt to taste.
  • Bake in the preheated oven to desired crispness, about 10 minutes for light and fluffy or 20 minutes for crunchier and darker on the outside.

Tips:

  • Use active dry yeast that has been freshly opened. Old yeast may not activate properly and can result in a flat focaccia.
  • Make sure the water is warm, but not hot, to the touch. Water that is too hot can kill the yeast and prevent it from activating.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough and make it chewy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour. This will give the yeast time to grow and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make the focaccia light and airy.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) before baking the focaccia. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Brush the top of the focaccia with olive oil before baking. This will help keep the crust from drying out.
  • Sprinkle the top of the focaccia with rosemary and sun-dried tomatoes before baking. These ingredients will add flavor and color to the focaccia.
  • Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
  • Let the focaccia cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the focaccia from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Focaccia with rosemary and sun-dried tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, a side dish, or even as a main course. The combination of rosemary and sun-dried tomatoes gives the focaccia a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone.
