Инструкции
- Place all of the ingredients into the pan of your bread machine. Program for Dough or possibly Manual, and press Start.
- If you're using a small (1-lb.) bread machine, remove the dough from the machine at the end of the second kneading cycle, and transfer it to a lightly greased bowl to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.
- At the end of the cycle, remove the dough from the machine and punch it down. Roll it out to create a rectangle, and transfer it to a cookie sheet, 10 x 15-inch to 12 x 18-inch. Pat the dough into the pan. Make indentations in the dough with your fingertips, about an inch apart, and drizzle sparingly with extra virgin olive oil.
- A plain focaccia can be topped with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Other toppings may include browned onions, fresh garlic, goat cheese, pesto, fresh sage and bacon, potatoes and rosemary, sun-dry tomatoes, Gorgonzola cheese, olives, or possibly any combination of those or possibly other ingredients of your choice.
- Let the focaccia rise for half an hour to an hour. This will make a lighter bread. Bake the focaccia in the preheated 450F oven for 15 to 20 min, or possibly till lightly browned. Drizzle with extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil, and serve.
- Serves 6 to 10
- The predecessor of Pizza in Italy was a flat bread called "Focaccia" that is used both as an appetizer (an antipasto, the course before the pasta) or possibly as an accompaniment to a main meal.
