Easy Cheesy Focaccia
My first try at making focaccia! This is a simple one, and can be ready within 2 hours. Recipe adapted from those found online. I'm really just jotting it down here for my own reference what I tried, so I'll remember next time.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1-2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon each dried basil and rosemary (you can use thyme, oregano, etc)
- 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
- around half a cup of water (or as much as is required to get dough together)
TOPPINGS:
- olive or vegetable oil to coat surface
- grated cheese of your liking (you can even mix, say parmesan and mozzarella)
- sprinkle of sea salt
- rosemary or any other herbs you like, fresh ones infinitely better than dried. You can also experiment with chopped olives, cherry tomatoes, garlic, caramelized onions, etc
DIRECTIONS:
- Mix all items under "INGREDIENTS" together, taking care to add the water bit by bit to get the dough going
- Knead just briefly, just so that dough is elastic (5-10 mins by hand)
- Leave dough in oiled bowl to rise until doubled (at least an hour)
- Preheat oven to 230 degrees Celsius
- Punch down the risen dough; shape into flat rectangle and lay on greased/parchment-lined pan or baking sheet (I used a Pyrex tray)
- Spread some olive oil on the top surface of your dough, sprinkle sea salt, grated cheese and any other toppings you like
- Bake for about 15-20 mins (longer if you prefer a harder crust)
