Focaccia Bread

 I discovered the recipe I use for Focaccia Bread had never been added to the separate recipe page  when someone mentioned needing a recipe several weeks ago. Then I forgot to do anything about it.

But I'd almost run out and made it again last week, so now it's been added the recipe page for future reference.

This is the recipe I used which turns out well. I do the mixing in the Kenwood with a dough hook.. 

500g Strong Bread Flour
30mls Rapeseed Oil
10g Salt
10g Yeast
Approx 325ml Tepid Water
Sea salt, olive oil and rosemary to finish

Mix salt, yeast and flour
Mix oil and water and add to flour and mix really well
When smooth knead for 10 mins.
Don't use flour when kneading but a little oil on hands instead.
Place on a well oiled  11 inch by 7 inch brownie tin, flatten to a rectangle, cover with cling film and rest for 30 minutes.
Uncover, fold into thirds. Turn and fold into thirds again. Turn over and flatten to rectangle again.
Cover and rest for another 30 mins.
Push dough to  11 x 7 inches.
Rest for 30 mins, then dimple top with thumb, sprinkle with salt, olive oil and chopped rosemary.






180℃ for fan oven or 200℃ for 20 - 25 mins.




I cut it into chunks before freezing and  eat it with anything tomato-y  that has juices that need mopping up.

It's soft, bouncy and very delicious.

  2. Oooh, that looks dangerously tasty, I would have to chop it up and quickly freeze lots of it too. I should imagine it would be very easy to eat far to much of it in one go. I really do need to get back to making some various simple breads, the first step would be to get Ken the Kenwood mixer out of Alan's cupboard.

  4. Much the same as we use, only we don't use rapeseed oil, we use olive oil.
