Focaccia

Overview

Focaccia, also translated as focaccia, is an Italian country bread. It was once listed as one of the popular foods in the new millennium. Focaccia is simple and thick in appearance, simple and unfussy in making. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. During the baking process, the charming aroma of the perfect combination of garlic slices, black pepper and olive oil fills the whole room.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put water, sugar, high-gluten flour, salt, and yeast powder (separate from salt) into the bread machine barrel, stir it into a loose shape with chopsticks, and then pour in 10 grams of olive oil.

   

2. 2 Start a dough kneading program, knead the dough into a smooth and soft dough, and then perform basic fermentation. It will be ready when the dough ferments to 2-2.5 times in size (about 60 minutes).

   

3. 3 Take out the fermented dough, flatten it and deflate it, roll it into a ball and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then use a rolling pin to roll it into a 20-25cm round cake shape and put it into a baking pan (I rolled it directly into the baking pan). Use scissors to cut some small holes in the dough.

   

4. 4 Brush with olive oil (it doesn’t matter if you brush more, the oil will be absorbed during the baking process).

   

5. 5 Insert garlic slices into the cut edges.

   

6. 6 Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly (freshly ground black pepper is more fragrant), and ferment the dough for a second time for 20 minutes.

   

7. 7 Place in the middle rack of the preheated oven, 175 degrees, for 25-30 minutes.

   

8. 8 Bake until the surface is browned.

   

9. 9 Cut into cubes or slices and serve.
