DELICIOUSLY EASY GARLIC HERB FOCACCIA

Make focaccia in an hour. Or a little longer if your bread machine doesn't have a pizza cycle. Also great as a pizza dough! I personally use 2 cups unbleached bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. As with most recipes I have created - they are a base on which to build.

ONION HERB FOCACCIA BREAD



Onion Herb Focaccia Bread image

So yummy and good! We tried this recipe a week ago and as soon as it was gone we made it again! Can make into great breadsticks to accompany an Italian meal. The recipe makes two flat loaves and you just cut them into strips. Another great recipe by the Micheff sister Brenda Walsh. As an option she sometimes adds sliced Greek olives, but I haven't tried it that way yet.

Salt and pepper to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil: Enough for drizzling

Steps:

  • Get Cookin'

  • You can use a pizza stone or pizza pan if you have one. Make sure the pan is heated in the oven thirty minutes before you put the dough on it.

Tips:

  • Use a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook to make the dough. This will save you time and effort.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will help the focaccia to be light and airy.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the focaccia. This will help the focaccia to get a crispy crust.
  • Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
