OLIVE, ROSEMARY, AND ONION FOCACCIA



Olive, Rosemary, and Onion Focaccia image

Categories     Bread     Olive     Onion     Side     Bake     Rosemary     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 9

a 1/4-ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves plus whole rosemary leaves
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 pound Kalamata, Niçoise, or green Greek olives or a combination, pitted and cut into slivers (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook stir together the yeast, the sugar, and 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water and proof the yeast mixture for 5 minutes, or until it is foamy. Stir in 4 1/2 cups of the flour, the salt, and 2 tablespoons of the oil and knead the dough, scraping down the dough hook occasionally and adding as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as necessary to form a soft, slightly sticky dough, for 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turn it to coat it with the oil, and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk. Knead in the chopped rosemary, press the dough with lightly oiled hands into a well-oiled 15 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan, and let it rise, covered loosely, for 30 minutes. The dough may be made 8 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Dimple the dough with your fingertips, making 1/4-inch-deep indentations, brush it with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and top it with the onion, the olives, the salt, and the whole rosemary leaves. Bake the focaccia in the bottom third of a preheated 400°F. oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until it is golden and cooked through. Transfer the focaccia to a rack, let it cool for 10 minutes, and serve it, cut into squares, warm or at room temperature.

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

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.

1/4 cup lukewarm water
2 teaspoons dry active yeast (1 packet)
1 teaspoon honey
1 1/2 cups cold water
zest of one lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons chopped red onions
4 cups all-purpose flour

Provided by Galley Wench

Categories     Breads

Time 40m

Yield 1 1-pound loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 ounces refrigerated bread dough (see Recicpe #387518)
1 small sweet onion, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon for drizzling
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves (or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh)
coarse salt & fresh ground pepper
olive oil or parchment paper, for pan

Steps:

  • Use the refrigerated pre-mixed dough for No-Knead Flatbreads Recipe #387518.
  • Twenty minutes before baking place an empty broilter tray or cast iron skillet on the bottom shelf of the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or silicon mat), or grease with olive oil; set aside.
  • Remove the Olive Oil Flatbread dough (Recipe #387518) from the refrigerator. Lighly dust the surface with flour and cut off a 1 pound (grapefruit size) piece.
  • With lightly floured hands quickly shape dough into a ball by streching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter turn as you go.
  • With a minimal amount of flour, flatten the dough into a 1/2 to 3/4 inch round, using your hands or a rolling pin.
  • Place dough on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Saute the onions in 2 tablespoons olive oil until soft, but not browned.
  • Mix in minced garlic.
  • Sparingly scatter the onions over the surface of the dough. You should be able to easily see the dough's surface.
  • Sprinkle with rosemary, coarse salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Lightly drizzle olive oil over the surface, approximately 1 teaspoon.
  • Set dough aside for 20 minutes to rest.
  • Place the focaccia on the center rack of the oven.
  • Pour 1 cup of hot tap water into broiler tray or cast iron skillet and quickly close the door.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, watching carefully that the onions do not burn.
  • Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
  • Make sure the yeast is active before using it. To test the yeast, dissolve it in 1/4 cup of warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will foam up.
  • Don't overproof the dough. The dough is ready to bake when it has doubled in size and is springy to the touch.
  • Bake the focaccia in a preheated oven. This will help the focaccia to rise evenly.
  • Brush the focaccia with olive oil before baking. This will help the focaccia to brown and give it a crispy crust.
  • Serve the focaccia warm or at room temperature. Focaccia is best eaten the day it is made, but it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Rosemary 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 a main course.
