Homemade Focaccia Bread

This is a simple recipe for Focaccia Bread ~ Italian Flat Bread. It goes great with Stews, Soups and Spaghetti Sauce. I do use a Kitchen Aid Mixer but it can be made by hand,, but will take longer.


Focaccia Bread Dough ~ Makes 2


2 c. water
Splash of Olive Oil
Heat to 120*

In Kitchen Aid mixer bowl put ( Use dough hook): (I first mix with a spatula)
2 C. Flour
1/4C. Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
2 ½ tsp Yeast

Add the water/Olive Oil, turn mixer on low:
mix well,, scrapping bowl a few times.
Slowly add more flour to make a ball
that forms around the dough hook.
Use just enough flour to make a dough that
is not to sticky.. I don't measure the flour because
depending on the weather =some days you will
use more and other days less. Using 4-1/2-5-1/2 cups of flour total.
Knead the dough in the mixer for 5 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl.. Turn the dough to grease all sides.
Cover, and rise in a warm place until doubled. About 1 ½ hours.
Punch down.. Place on a floured cloth, knead a few minutes.
Cut dough in half. Cover and rest 20 minutes.
Either roll the dough with a rolling pin or use your hands
to stretch the dough out onto 2 greased pizza pans.
Let the dough rest for 10- 15 minutes. Take your fingers and poke into the dough
to make indentations. Brush lightly with Olive Oil.

I use different spices depending on
what meal I am making:
For my soup;; I sprinkled:
Italian seasoning
garlic powder
onion power
parsley
Parmesan cheese
Basically use any spice to go with your meal.
Bake as 425* 20-25.. until golden brown

ENJOY!

Yum... I can't have regular bread anymore. I miss it. :( I have Celiac Disease, which is a drag for Sicilians like me. LOL. I have been away from youtube for a few days, gotta catch up on your videos. That bread looks delicious, maybe I can see about making this with some gluten free flour. Thanks for the ideas!
