Focaccia Bread, pronounced as "FOKATCHA". It is an Italian light flat-bread, made from a soft and sticky dough enriched with good and strong olive oil. Traditionally, the oil is sprinkled over the dough before baking and in generous quantities.
Ingredients:
2 Cups all-purpose Flour
3 TBS olive oil
1 TBS sugar
7 gr dried yeast
1 Teaspoon Salt
Some warm water enough to form a wet and sticky dough
Steps:
1- I used a mixer with a bread hook to make this bread. Combine the flour, salt and yeast and knead everything together, adding gradually water.
2- Knead for at least 5 minutes, then add sugar and oil and keep kneading for another 10 minutes.
3- Adjust the dough's consistency with additional water as needed.
The dough should be wet and sticky.
4- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise For 1 Hour , at room temperature, until it's nearly doubled in bulk.
5- After it rise Put some Olive oil in your Hand & Gently deflate the dough and you can feel how the dough can be easily stretched, and becomes elastic and smooth.
6- Preheat the oven to 395 F
7- Shape the dough into a ball and slap it onto a greased baking sheet, then roll it out (or push it out with your hands) into a rectangle. Dip your fingers into olive oil and press into the dough to make deep dents all over the top.
8- choose any topping and dot it into your dough, let rise for some other 15 min & bake for about 20 to 30 minutes.
