FOCACCIA

sliced white focaccia with onion cheese and tomato

This recipe uses Risen Flour’s  Focaccia Pizza Bread Mix.

 

INGREDIENTS

 

  • 38 x 26cm sheet pan
  • 500g Risen Flour Focaccia Pizza bread mix
  • 400g water
  • 7g instant yeast
  • Toppings:
  • Whatever you choose, but I use
  • Olives
  • Sundried tomato
  • Capsicum
  • Artichoke hearts
  • Cured meats of your choosing
  • Red onion
  • Jan’s chilli Jam
  • Rosemary from the garden
  • Salt flakes
  • Olive Oil – oodles of it!


 METHOD


  • In your food processor / Thermomix / or by hand
  • Mix bread mix, water and yeast. (See note)
  • Knead until full gluten development has been reached.
  • In a bowl pour a little olive oil in and place dough on top
  • Coat dough with the oil, cover and allow to rise at 30deg C for around 25 min.
  • In the meantime take your sheet pan and pour oil to coat pan – a good covering is just fine, you need more than just a spray of oil.
  • Once dough has risen take it out of the bowl and place in the sheet pan, try to stretch it out as much as you can without tearing it. If it won’t stretch, then leave it to rest and every now and then just give it a gentle tug to the corners. It will naturally spread . 
  • Cover and allow to rise for around 30min @ 30deg covered in the oven.
  • Once wobbly and bubbly, place your ingredients on top – dimple the dough sprinkle with salt, rosemary and oodles of oil.
  • Place in the preheated oven for 18min.  Check to see that the crust isn't darkening too soon, if it does drape foil over th top.



Note

In a Thermomix  mix for 6min

In food processer mix until you get a nicely smooth dough
