BAKED " BREAD MACHINE" FOCACCIA WITH THE WORKS

Steps:

• Dough: Put the 1 1/2 cup water in the bread machine.
• Add the other ingredients in this order: sugar, salt, oil, flour, yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and black pepper.
• Place bread machine on dough setting and start.
• Note the amount of time your bread machine will take and set another timer for this amount (or do it manually, I use the timer on my microwave for for this).
• As soon as the dough forms a ball (several minutes) add the 3 tbsp lukewarm water.
• This amount of flour is more than most bread machines can handle, so check every 10 minutes when it is not actively mixing.
• If it's getting too high, just stop the dough cycle and restart it (this is why the other timer is needed).
• At the end of the time (on my machine it is 130 minutes) turn off the bread machine and remove the dough.
• Grease a large pizza pan (or a large rectangular cookie sheet with sides, or 2 small pizza pans) and turn the dough out on it (I usually put a bit of oil or cooking spray on my hands so It doesn't stick to me).
• Spread the dough evenly on the pan, making it higher on the edges of the pan for a crust.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double.
• About 15-20 minutes.
• Toppings: Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
• Add as many optional toppings as you wish (invent some if you wish).
• Sprinkle with parmesan.
• Bake until golden about 15-20 minutes at 350°F.

FOCACCIA (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place the ingredients into the pan in the order recommended by your bread machine.
• Program the machine for "dough cycle".
• Check dough about 10 minutes before the end of the 2nd kneading cycle.
• It should be a smooth, sticky ball.
• Adjust if needed with more flour or water.
• When the machine has completed its cycle, transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
• Roll or pat it into a large rectangle, about 17x12 inches.
• Transfer the dough onto a large, lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Let it rest 10 minutes then pat it back to its original shape if it has shrunk.
• Cover with a towel and let rise for about forty minutes or till puffy.
• Sprinkle the salt & herbs over the bread.
• Press into the dough at intervals with your fingers& sprinkle with the olive oil.
• Bake the focaccia in a preheated 425°F oven for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven & cool on a wire rack.

FOCACCIA (USING BREAD MACHINE FOR THE DOUGH)

Steps:

• Place all of the above ingredients, accurately measured and in the order I have listed them, in the Bread Machine.
• Select the 'dough' cycle.
• When the cycle is complete, take the dough out of the Bread Machine, and proceed with the following steps: On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
• (you may need to add extra flour during this time) Place the 'Focaccia' dough in a well grease bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm (and draught free) place for about 1/2 an hour.
• Then, knead the dough lightly (in the bowl) for about 1 minute.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangular shape (about 20 cm x 30 cm)
• Place on a well greased baking tray (or sponge roll tin) and leave to rise again, in a warm place, this time for about 1 hour (or until it has doubled in it's original size) Now pour and smooth over with your fingers, 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• 'Poke' the dough with 2 fingers at intervals over the surface, and sprinkle liberally with rock salt or equal measurements of olive oil and Basil pesto mixed together with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, top with chopped up sun-dried tomatoes and sliced black olives!
• YUM!
• Bake at 225°C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown!
