Focaccia

Focaccia

I was waiting for different recipe to blog here and i found this. Focaccia is an Italian delicacy. Very easy to make and tasty too :). I found this recipe in FoodGawker. It is very similar to pizza making. Flat bread can be prepared with the ingredients which we use for pizza. Here i used onions for topping the flat bread. We can use olives, Jalapenos anything which suits your taste. You can even make these in any shape (Circular, rectangle, any shapes using cookie cutter).

I divided the dough into half and used the other part for making Garlic rolls. 

Enjoy the making of Focaccia !!!!!

Ingredients All Purpose Flour 1 and 1/2 cup Dry Instant Yeast 3/4 Tbsp Olive oil 3 Tbsp Warm water 1/2 Cup + as needed Sugar 1/4 Tsp Salt as Needed Onion 1    Salt     As needed  Method  1. Mix flour, yeast, oil, sugar and salt in a bowl.  Add water, knead them for about 5 minutes.  Make them into smooth dough and cover with a cling wrap.Keep it aside for 1 1/2 hour.  2. The dough would have raised and doubled in size. Roll the dough to a flat bread using rolling  pin.Place the dough in a baking tray lined with butter paper. Keep the dough as such for about  half an hour. Cover the dough with cling wrap. By then cut the onions lengthwise and add 2 Tsp  of oil. Mix them evenly. (If needed add salt).  3. After 1/2 an hour the dough would have raised more. Now, make shallow pits in the dough  using finger. Drizzle some oil over the dough and into the pits.  4.  Spread the onions above the dough. Preheat the oven for 375 F. Place the baking tray inside    the oven. Cook for about 20 mins. (Till the upper part of focaccia becomes brown)  5. Cut them into squares and serve them.  Enjoy this italian delicacy with sauce :) :) :). You can even garnish further with herbs or Chilli  flakes.  Note: The timings may differ from mine. Take out the Focaccia when it becomes slightly brown. Don’t salute the onion and then add to rolled flour. It is better to add raw onion slices. You can even add herbs, chilli flakes. After adding yeast the dough should raise double its original size. If not, please try changing yeast brand. If using active dry yeast (1 Tbsp) and not instant yeast, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and add sugar. The yeast should froth and add the yeast to dough.
