I love focaccia and have always wanted to learn how to make it. I had no idea it was so easy! I found this recipe for a tomato focaccia, but I'm sure you can change it and add whatever toppings you like (I used dried basil instead of fresh and added a sprinkle of parmesan cheese). Perfect with a soup or salad!
Ingredients:
1 package Active Dry Yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. olive oil
3 roma tomatoes, sliced
dried basil
shredded parmesan cheese
Directions:
Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 C. of the warm water, and let sit 10 minutes until bubbly.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, yeast mixture, and remaining water. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon and then your hands. Transfer to a floured work surface and knead by hand for a few minutes or until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Punch down dough and place on an oiled baking sheet, forming into an oval or circle. Space the tomato slices across the surface of the focaccia, then sprinkle with dried basil and parmesan cheese. Bake about 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.
