Tomato Herb Focaccia
Focaccia is one of my favorite Italian Breads. The Tomato Herb Focaccia was a winner from the moment it went on the table and it sure didn't last long. I have served this Focaccia for an appetizer and a lunch with a great salad, it is a very versatile Focaccia, sure hope you enjoy it!

Miz Helen's Kitchen
Ingredients
Ingredients
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon each dried oregano, thyme and rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
pinch of pepper
2 to 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, sugar garlic, dried herbs, pepper and 1 1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Sitr in enough of the remaing flour to form a soft, sticky dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Punch dough down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into a 13 in. X9-in. rectangle; place on parchment paper covered baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Drizzle the remaining oil over the dough; use your fingertips to press dimples into the dough while speading the oil around. Top with tomatoes and cheese
Bake in preheated oven for 20 -25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
I am so happy that you were able to stop by and enjoy some of this great Focaccia with me today. Have a great week and come back to see me real soon!
Peace and Joy
Miz Helen

Your focaccia looks really good Helen. My family has always loved focaccia, though we have never tried making it ourselves. I bet yours is really good homemade and with all those toppings. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good--another winner from you AND Amanda. Pinning because I need to try making my own focaccia.
ReplyDeleteI love a good focaccia and make it often Next time I am making this one the tomatoes and herbs sound like a great addition.
ReplyDeleteLove focaccia, and this looks like a meal in and of itself. Wonder if you could play with incorporating whole wheat flour for part of the AP to boost the nutrition?

Oh my gosh, even the DOUGH for that looked amazing. And the finished focaccia? Wow. Mouth watering. Really great job on a really great choice.
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing - I love all the herbs in the dough. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks!!

ReplyDeleteOh dear...now I'm going to HAVE to go to the grocery store very soon for just ont tomato, so I can make this! Everything else I have on hand. It looks mouth-wateringly delicious.
