Best 4 Bresaola Goat Cheese Arugula And Truffle Oil On Focaccia Recipes

SANTA BARBARA OLIVE FOCACCIA WITH BAKED GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the warm water and yeast until dissolved. Set aside for 5 minutes.
• In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, blend the flours and salt. With the mixer running on low, pour in the yeast and water mixture. Mix for 1 minute, then add in the honey and olive oil. Once the dough comes together, add the olives. Mix until the olives are just incorporated.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes. Put the dough on an oiled 13 by 9-inch baking sheet, cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
• While the dough is rising, heat the 8 ounces of olive oil and garlic cloves in a small skillet over low heat. Simmer until the garlic is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Divide the goat cheese between 6 small oven-proof bowls or ramekins. Divide the garlic, olive oil and nicoise olives between the bowls. Set aside.
• When the focaccia dough has risen, press the dough down with your fingertips until it fills the baking sheet, then brush with olive oil. Bake until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped, about 45 to 50 minutes. Add the goat cheese bowls to the oven during the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking time. Bake until the cheese is warm and lightly browned.
• Slice the focaccia into thick wedges and serve 2 slices of warm focaccia with each bowl of warm goat cheese. Garnish the baked cheese with chives and serve.

CRACKED PEPPER FOCACCIA WITH TRUFFLE OIL

Steps:

• Stir 2 cups lukewarm water and yeast in large bowl to blend. Mix in 3 tablespoons olive oil, truffle oil, cracked pepper, and 2 teaspoons salt. Add 1 cup flour. Using wood spoon, stir vigorously until well incorporated. Add enough of remaining 3 3/4 cups flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, to form dough that is soft, sticky and not completely smooth, stirring vigorously until well incorporated. Oil large bowl. Scrape dough into oiled bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. For do-ahead version: Chill dough overnight. Allow dough to come to room temperature in warm draft-free area before proceeding. For same-day version: Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes (do not punch down dough).
• Lightly oil 15x10x1-inch baking sheet. Slide out dough onto prepared baking sheet (dough will be soft and will easily slide out onto sheet; do not punch down dough or knead dough). Gently pull and stretch dough so that dough almost covers baking sheet. Press fingertips all over top of dough to form indentations. Brush top of focaccia with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with thyme, rosemary and coarse salt. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft-free area until puffed, about 30 minutes for refrigerated dough and about 15 minutes for room-temperature dough.
• Meanwhile, position rack in center of oven and preheat to 450°F. Bake focaccia until deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.

BRESAOLA WITH ARUGULA, FENNEL, AND MANCHEGO CHEESE

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil and lemon juice in small bowl to blend; set dressing aside. Place 1 bresaola slice on work surface with 1 long side parallel to edge.

Starting at filled end, roll up bresaola, enclosing filling. Arrange, seam side down, on platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 18 rolls total. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic wrap; chill. Before serving, let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.)
