【Focaccia】

Overview

Two days ago, when I was watching bread-making expert Paul Holywood's video teaching how to make bread, I was deeply attracted by the various details and shots of making bread. Under the hands of the master, making bread is a very simple matter. Through mixing and fermentation, the substances in the dough are released, exuding the original grain aroma. There was an episode in the video about making various kinds of pancakes, including Italian focaccia, Indian super-thin flying pancakes, etc. When I saw the scene where olive oil was poured into the dough, I felt like I could smell the aroma of the food, and I couldn't wait. So, taking advantage of this opportunity to use the kitchen machine, I quickly started cooking. The ingredients of focaccia are very simple and casual. It was originally a staple food bread that originated in Italy. As time goes by, the ingredients that are paired with it have also changed. There are olives, sun-dried tomatoes in oil, rosemary, thyme, etc. Just like today's pizza, you can mix it with whatever you like.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Weigh out all the ingredients and mix them in the cooking bucket; put the mixing bucket into the cooking machine and turn on the low-speed mixing function. After the dough is mixed, turn on the high-speed kneading function; after kneading the dough for two minutes, add softened butter and knead the dough to a softer expansion stage using the post-oil method.

   

2. 2 Spray a layer of oil mist on the bottom of the cooking bowl and the surface of the dough, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it ferment in a warm and humid place until it doubles in size. Use your fingers to poke the dough to determine how well it has risen. Take out the dough and roll it into a round shape. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Roll out the dough into a cake shape and put it into a baking pan. Use a sharp knife to make small incisions on the surface of the dough. Brush with a layer of olive oil and sprinkle with thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and red grapes.

   

3. 3 The prepared dough can be baked directly in the oven, or it can be baked after secondary fermentation; I use direct baking. Put the prepared dough directly into the middle shelf of a preheated 200-degree oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
