ROSEMARY - GARLIC FOCACCIA



Rosemary - Garlic Focaccia image

I was lucky enough to have my Italian uncle Pat make this for me all through my teens. I like to think now that it sustained me more than physically. I could eat this every day and never get tired of it - it's the perfect bread.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 1h25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 ounce active dry yeast (one envelope)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
4 -4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons dried rosemary, crumbled
3 -5 garlic cloves, minced very fine (depending on how garlicky you want it, I go all the way!)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together yeast, sugar and 1 ¾ cups lukewarm water and proof yeast for 10-15 minutes, or until foamy.
  • Stir in 4 cup of flour, 1 tblsps of the olive oil and the salt, adding as much of the remaining flour as necessary to form a soft and slightly sticky dough.
  • Transfer to a lightly-oiled bowl, turn to coat, and let rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until double in size. Knead dough down and press with lightly-oiled hands into a well-oiled 15 ½ x 10 ½ inch jelly-roll pan and let it rise, covered loosely, for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Set rack in center of oven.
  • Dimple dough with your fingers in places, drizzle 2 tblsps olive oil over and spread over dough; sprinkle with rosemary, garlic and sea salt.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until pale golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Note: I often make up the garlic/oil/rosemary mixture one or two days ahead of time and refrigerate it. Dried oregano is also a GREAT add-in.

RED ONION, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY FOCACCIA



Red Onion, Garlic and Rosemary Focaccia image

A flat-oven baked bread originating in Italy. Don't be afraid by the amount of topping suggested - a whole red onion will be so much that you can't see the surface of the bread anymore; but it all shrivels up when cooked, and using less will make it quite bland. Dill and sage also both work quite well with this recipe. Although this makes '1 loaf' because I only have 12 x 8 baking trays I tend to split this into two loaves and bake them separately, or else it gets squashed. Also beware of adding extra liquid - this tends to suck liquid away and then surprise you when you start kneading, so make sure you've properly mixed before you add anymore

Categories     Breads

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

350 g strong white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
7 ml dried yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
225 ml warm water
1 red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl.
  • Stir in the yeast, (this should be 1 dessert spoon but Zaar doesn't like it -- so it's about half a tbsp) oil and water.
  • Mix to a dough. Add more liquid if kneaded (depends on the dough you're using) but be careful.
  • Turn the dough out and knead it for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
  • Place in an oiled bowl in a warm place (window sill / airing cupboard) for about an hour to double in bulk. Cover it with cling film or a wet tea towel to stop it from forming a crust. (If it does, then knead it some more to get rid of it - but it will then need more proving time to get the air back).
  • Roll the dough out into a rough oval shape about 1cm thick, and place onto an oiled baking tray.
  • Make deep holes in the dough about 1 inch apart.
  • Allow to rise for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / GM6
  • Mix together the remaining oil, garlic and rosemary (leave to sit for a little while to flavour the oil).
  • Spread over the surface of the bread, and cover with the chopped onion.
  • Sprinkle over the salt, and then flick on some cold water to stop a skin from warming as it cooks.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, and then cool on a wire rack.

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)

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: To ensure the focaccia rises properly, activate the yeast by dissolving it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the focaccia will taste. Use fresh rosemary, garlic, and olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the focaccia its chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place to double in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Dimple the dough before baking: Before baking the focaccia, dimple the dough all over with your fingers. This will help the focaccia to cook evenly and prevent it from rising too much in the center.
  • Bake the focaccia until golden brown: The focaccia is done baking when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.

Conclusion:

This rosemary garlic focaccia is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is soft and chewy on the inside, with a crispy crust and a flavorful topping. Serve it as an appetizer, a side dish, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover rosemary and garlic.
