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.
Back Soon
Thank you, it looks delicious
ReplyDeleteOooh, 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.
ReplyDeleteIt cuts into 12 or even 16 pieces so lasts me ages.
DeleteI must make some focaccia, haven't done so for ages and I do like a mopping up bread.

Much the same as we use, only we don't use rapeseed oil, we use olive oil.
ReplyDeleteI expect the original recipe was olive oil but I use rapeseed for everything now as so much oil-seed rape grows around here that it feels like I'm buying local! I even use cold pressed rapeseed for the top too - from aldi
DeleteI really like focaccia and yours looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing -that looks delicious! Catriona
ReplyDeleteThat does look good. I bake quite a bit of bread, mixing by hand, no appliance, and it still works! I also use extra gluten, so no kneading required other than to shape the loaves for the pan. I should add foccaccia to my repertoire, thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteLooks good and I bet tastes even better x

Yummo!!!! I'm not a real "bread person" but even my mouth is watering after seeing these pictures. And the smell of your home as it's baking, I'll bet....heaven!! ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour bread looks delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteOh my that looks so good. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I love foccacia. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for comments, it's a bit of a faff with the turning etc but tastes good
ReplyDeleteWatch out Paul H! Your star may be being outshone!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy. A good idea to freeze it in portions. Gabby makes this regularly. Danny's a breadmaker too, when he has time. Tam doesn't have time now she has Rosie!!
ReplyDeleteOkay...this looks like a recipe that I need to save. I love the idea of freezing it as well. We will be eating a lot of tomatoey stuff this summer (I hope so any way!) and I will definitely give this a try.
