OLIVE, ROSEMARY, AND ONION FOCACCIA

Steps:

• In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook stir together the yeast, the sugar, and 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water and proof the yeast mixture for 5 minutes, or until it is foamy. Stir in 4 1/2 cups of the flour, the salt, and 2 tablespoons of the oil and knead the dough, scraping down the dough hook occasionally and adding as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as necessary to form a soft, slightly sticky dough, for 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turn it to coat it with the oil, and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk. Knead in the chopped rosemary, press the dough with lightly oiled hands into a well-oiled 15 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan, and let it rise, covered loosely, for 30 minutes. The dough may be made 8 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.
• Dimple the dough with your fingertips, making 1/4-inch-deep indentations, brush it with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and top it with the onion, the olives, the salt, and the whole rosemary leaves. Bake the focaccia in the bottom third of a preheated 400°F. oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until it is golden and cooked through. Transfer the focaccia to a rack, let it cool for 10 minutes, and serve it, cut into squares, warm or at room temperature.

ROSEMARY ONION FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Mix the water, yeast, oil and semolina in a large mixing bowl and stir to blend. Add the flour once cup at a time, stirring well with a wooden spoon after each addition. Once the dough becomes too difficult to mix by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and add the salt. Continue to knead until all the flour has been worked in (you may not need the final ½ cup of flour) and the dough develops and smooth and elastic consistency, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a large, oiled bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
• Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface again and divide it in half. Roll out each piece of dough into a rectangle 10-x-15-inches in size. Line 2 baking trays of this size (or a little larger) with parchment paper, and sprinkle each with a little semolina. Lift the rolled doughs onto each pan and cover the trays with a tea towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
• Remove the tea towels, and use your fingertips to gently "dimple" the dough, cover and let rise another 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Toss the red onion, rosemary and olive oil to coat. Remove the tea towels from the dough and sprinkle the onions evenly over the dough, trying to coat as much of the dough with the olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake the focaccia for about 25 minutes until a rich golden brown colour. Carefully remove the focaccia from the trays to cool (to prevent the bottom of the bread from going soft) and cool to room temperature before slicing.
• The focaccia will keep for a day, or can be frozen up to 2 months.

ROSEMARY AND RED ONION FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Pour the warm water and honey into the bowl of your electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Add one package of dry active yeast and swirl around. Allow the yeast to foam for 10 minutes or so.
• Then add the cold water, lemon zest, 2 Tb. oil, salt, rosemary and onions. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the flour.
• Once all the flour is in the bowl, switch the paddle to the bread hook attachment. "Knead" on low for about 10 minutes.
• Pull the dough away from the sides and rub the bowl down with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Remove the plastic wrap and turn the mixer back on for 30 seconds.
• Divide the dough into two pieces and press with your fingers into two 9-10 inch round pans. As you press to dough to the edges, don't be afraid to let your fingers puncture the dough-this will created the bumpy, rustic texture of traditional focaccia.
• Cover both pans with a clean, damp towel. Allow the dough to rise again for another 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 400* F.
• Before baking use the remaining tablespoon of oil and brush the tops of the loaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and decorate with thin onion slices, if you like.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden-brown. Turn out the bread loaves and ENJOY!
