Bread Machine Herb Focaccia Food

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!

FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Combine the warm water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl. Put the bowl in a warm, not hot or cool, place until the yeast is bubbling and aromatic, at least 15 minutes.
• In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, 1/2 cup olive oil and the yeast mixture on low speed. Once the dough has come together, continue to knead for 5 to 6 minutes on a medium speed until it becomes smooth and soft. Give it a sprinkle of flour if the dough is really sticky and tacky.
• Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface, then knead it by hand 1 or 2 times. Again, give it another sprinkle of flour if the dough is really sticky and tacky.
• Coat the inside of the mixer bowl lightly with olive oil and return the dough to the bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, at least 1 hour.
• Coat a jelly roll pan with the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil. (Chef's Note: This may seem excessive, but focaccia is an oily crusted bread. This is why it is soooooooooo delicious!).
• Put the dough onto the jelly roll pan and begin pressing it out to fit the size of the pan. Turn the dough over to coat the other side with the olive oil. Continue to stretch the dough to fit the pan. As you are doing so, spread your fingers out and make finger holes all the way through the dough. (Chef's Note: Yes, this is strange. But when the dough rises again it will create the characteristic craggy looking focaccia. If you do not make the actual holes in the dough, the finished product will be very smooth.)
• Put the dough in the warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour. While the dough is rising a second time, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Liberally sprinkle the top of the focaccia with some coarse sea salt and lightly drizzle a little oil on top. Bake the dough until the top of the loaf is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool before cutting and serving.
• Oh baby!

BREAD MACHINE HERB FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Fill your bread machine according to manufacturer's directions. With my Zojirushi machine it's liquids first and dry ingredients second, but manufacturers vary. I typically put the water, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, salt and garlic in first. Then top with flour and 2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning. Make a small well in the center of the flour and put the yeast in the well.
• Keep the salt and yeast separate as the salt could kill the yeast and keep it from doing its job.
• Turn off the preheat setting on the bread machine, set the machine to Dough and press start. This dough process will take about an hour and a half. When the machine beeps, take the dough out and press into an oiled standard sized half sheet pan, 18" X 13".
• Press to the sides of the baking sheet, its not any fancy shaping, a little irregular shape just gives the focaccia some character. Gently dimple the dough with your knuckles creating wells for the extra olive oil to pool in, about every other inch or so. Brush with 2-4 more tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Crack some fresh black pepper and add additional Italian seasoning to taste.
• Cover the tray with plastic wrap and preheat oven to 400 degrees. You don't need to preheat before this as you will want the focaccia to rest for about 15-20 minutes before putting it in the oven.
• Take plastic wrap off of the focaccia dough and place in oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven.
• Optional, brush with additional olive oil if the focaccia seems a little dry and sprinkle with additional kosher salt to taste.
