GARLIC ROSEMARY FOCACCIA FOR THE BREAD MACHINE



Garlic Rosemary Focaccia for the Bread Machine image

This is my favourite breadmachine recipe. It is so moist and flavourful. Although it is not a high rising bread, it makes great flat italian sandwiches. It is also good warm, served with butter and soup. You can use all white flour if desired, but for best results, follow the recipe. Prep time includes machine's time (your machine may vary)

ROSEMARY FOCACCIA BREAD



Rosemary Focaccia Bread image

Nothing is better than smelling fresh rosemary and fresh baking bread! This has been a favorite of mine for several years now. Prep-time includes rising time.

Provided by Kim D.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 loafs

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 1/2 cups unsifted bread flour (all-purpose flour can be used with good results)
1 (1/4 ounce) package fast rising yeast
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups warm water (120 F-130 F)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, 1 tablespoon rosemary and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • With a wooden spoon, stir in water and 3 tablespoons olive oil; beat mixture vigorously for 5 minutes.
  • Cover bowl with a clean towel and let dough rise in a warm place, away from drafts, until doubled in size (about 40 minutes).
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead for one minute.
  • Lightly oil two large baking sheets (I use baking stones).
  • Divide dough in half, placing one half on each baking sheet.
  • Press or roll out each to a 10-inch round.
  • Cover rounds with clean towels and let rise until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • With finger tips, make indentions all over surface of focaccia and brush each round with 1/2 tablespoon remaining olive oil.
  • Sprinkle rounds with remaining rosemary and sea salt.
  • Bake 15 minutes or until golden.
  • Cut in wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworked dough will be tough and chewy. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then knead it for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough will rise best in a warm place. You can place it in a warm oven with the light on or in a sunny spot on your counter.
  • Don't overcook the bread: Focaccia bread is best when it is cooked until it is golden brown and the center is cooked through. Overcooked bread will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the bread warm or at room temperature: Focaccia bread is best served warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy it plain, with olive oil and salt, or with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Rosemary focaccia bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, fluffy interior, and flavorful rosemary topping, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make bread, give this rosemary focaccia bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
