Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups (or more) bread flour
1 package fast-rising dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup hot water (125°F to 130°F)
2 1/2 tablespoons (or more) olive oil
1/2 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
Olive oil
2 ounces pancetta or bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried crumbled
Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine 1 3/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt in processor. Combine 3/4 cup hot water and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in cup. With machine running, pour water mixture into processor through feed tube. Process until dough forms, then continue processing 40 seconds to knead. Add olives and process to combine. Knead dough on floured surface until no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary.
  • Grease medium bowl with olive oil. Add dough, turning to coat surface. Cover with towel and let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 35 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 13-inch pizza pan or baking sheet. Punch dough down. Let rest 5 minutes. Roll out to 12-inch round on flour surface. Transfer to prepared pan. Build up edges slightly. Let rise in warm draft-free area 15 minutes. Dimple surface of dough all over with fingertips and build up edge again. Let rise in warm draft-free area 15 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped pancetta, onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped rosemary and sauté until onion just begins to soften slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove onion mixture from heat.
  • Tilt skillet with onion mixture and, with pastry brush, brush bread dough with olive oil in bottom of skillet, using additional olive oil if necessary to coat. Top bread dough with onion mixture. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Bake bread until brown on bottom and edges, about 30 minutes. Cut hot bread into wedges. Transfer wedges to platter. Garnish focaccia with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired and serve.

This focaccia was a disaster! The bread was raw in the middle, and the topping was burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my focaccia didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The bread was dense and chewy, and the topping was too salty.

This focaccia was good, but not great. The bread was a little dry, and the topping was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of cheese.
