flavors. I stumbled across a delicious recipe for Focaccia the other
day and I just have to share.
Easiest Focaccia
Easiest Focaccia
Ingredients
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
In a large
bowl, combine the yeast mixture with flour; stir well to combine. Stir
in additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until all of the flour is
absorbed. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly
floured surface and knead briefly for about 1 minute.
Lightly oil
a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in
volume, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
Deflate the
dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface; knead briefly.
Pat or roll the dough into a sheet and place on a lightly greased baking
sheet. Brush the dough with oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake
focaccia in preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on desired
crispness. If you like it moist and fluffy, then you'll have to wait
just about 10 minutes. If you like it crunchier and darker in the
outside, you may have to wait 20 minutes.
This might be the easiest focaccia recipe ever. Seriously!
