Herbed Flatbread (Focaccia) 4 Ways Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: warm water, active dry yeast, olive oil, all-purpose flour, salt, dried thyme, black pepper, fresh rosemary, mixed tomato, fresh rosemary, caramelized onion, garlic, mixed olive, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, gorgonzola cheese

Provided by Jordan Kenna

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ cups warm water
1 pack active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon fresh rosemary
8 oz mixed tomato, to taste
fresh rosemary, to taste
⅔ cup caramelized onion, to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz mixed olive, to taste
parmesan cheese, to taste
mozzarella cheese, to taste
4 oz gorgonzola cheese, to taste

Steps:

  • Stir yeast packet into water and allow yeast to bloom. (A light foam should appear on top of the water after about 5 minutes. This means the yeast is alive and active.)
  • Add olive oil to water and mix.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and herbs together.
  • Once incorporated, create a small well in the middle and pour in the water/yeast/oil mixture.
  • Mix by hand, wetting your working hand before mixing so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers. The water and flour should come together and form a rough dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • NOTE: If the dough is too sticky, add more flour in small increments, about 1 tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Once the dough begins to come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball.
  • Coat the bowl the dough was initially mixed in with about a tablespoon of olive oil and place the dough ball inside. Give it a few turns to coat the dough in the oil.
  • Cover and let the dough rise until it doubles in size about 1 hour.
  • While the dough rises, prepare a large baking sheet by generously coating it with olive oil.
  • Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten it out into a large rectangle.
  • Using a knife or dough scraper, cut the dough into 4 evenly sized rectangles.
  • Press the rectangles flat and arrange them with each one pressed into a corner of the baking sheet.
  • Cover and let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C) while the dough is resting.
  • Depending on the temperature of your kitchen and activeness of the yeast, the 4 rectangles should have risen to be about an 1-inch (2 ½ cm) thick.
  • Using your fingers, poke the the dough all over--creating small dimples across the surface.
  • Generously coat the tops of the dough rectangles one last time with olive oil (some oil will pool inside of the divots we made with our fingers. That's ok!) Use a basting brush to ensure all of the dough gets covered with olive oil.
  • Top the dough rectangles with your choice of toppings. (We did four different combinations, including tomatoes with fresh rosemary, caramelized onions and parmesan cheese, mixed olive with gorgonzola cheese, and 3-cheese using parmesan, mozzarella, and gorgonzola.)
  • Once finished with the toppings, liberally sprinkle the breads with a coarse salt.
  • Bake at 450˚F (230˚C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into equal pieces.
  • Enjoy!

DELICIOUSLY EASY GARLIC HERB FOCACCIA



Deliciously Easy Garlic Herb Focaccia image

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.

Time 2h

Yield 2 loaves, 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 medium red onion, sliced in very thin slivers
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, leaves
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon oregano leaves

HERB AND ONION FOCACCIA



Herb and Onion Focaccia image

Provided by Katie Brown

Categories     Onion     Appetizer     Bake     Cocktail Party     Quick & Easy     Parmesan     Rosemary     Thyme

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Pillsbury Pizza Dough: 1 Package (10 ounces)
Rosemary: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
Thyme: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
red onion: 1, julienned
Parmesan cheese: 2 tablespoons, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil: Enough for drizzling

Steps:

  • Get Cookin'
  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • 2. Unroll the pizza dough as directed on the package onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle half of the herbs on the dough and fold the dough in half lengthwise.
  • 3. Brush the top with olive oil and evenly distribute the remaining herbs, onion, and cheese.
  • 4. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 5. Bake for 15 minutes until the foccacia is golden brown and crispy.
  • 6. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve sliced.
  • Hints and Clues
  • 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:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need before you start cooking.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs will give your focaccia a more flavorful taste. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Knead the dough just until it comes together and forms a smooth, elastic ball.
  • Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: The dough should rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will help the dough develop a light and airy texture.
  • Bake the Focaccia in a Hot Oven: The focaccia should be baked in a hot oven (450°F) for about 20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crusty on the outside and cooked through on the inside.

Conclusion:

This herbed parmesan onion focaccia 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.
