Categories     appetizer

Time 2h15m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package active yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
3/4 cup water (might need more)
1 teaspoon oil

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor combine the yeast, sugar, flour, salt and thyme. Pulse to combine. Add the water in a steady stream until the dough begins to form a ball, turn it on to a board and knead with the heel of your hand until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Coat a bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Put in a warm spot to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
  • When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough, scrape it onto the counter and knead it lightly into a smooth ball. Cut into 20 pieces and with a rolling pin roll out to form very flat 5 to 6-inch circles.
  • Preheat a stove top grill pan over medium high. Do not oil. Place bread on hot grill and cook without touching it until you see bubbles on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until bread has puffed up. Serve immediately.

FOCACCIA FLAT BREAD HOMEMADE (BREAD MACHINE)



Focaccia Flat Bread Homemade (Bread Machine) image

My version of Italian flatbread, brushed with olive oil and flavored with grated Parmesan cheese, galic salt bread heavenly. Cut it into squares and top with Prosciutto Panino rolled in Mozzarella cheese and toasted under the broiler for 5 min.... oh my, this is dangerously good! It is so easy to make. Can't wait to have this with a bowl of soup or top with Pizza topping, or to just dip in garlic olive oil. This comes from a bread machine cookbook with instructions to layer ingredients liquid first. Yummers! :) Family Favorite! (Cooking time does not include dough cycle or rising)

Time 17m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup plus 3 tbsp. water, 90-100 'F
3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons dry milk
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
1 1/2 teaspoons bread, machine or 1 1/2 teaspoons fast rise yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
3 teaspoons italian seasoning (grinder)
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Program for DOUGH. Start bread maker. When done, remove pan from bread maker. Place dough onto floured surface. Let rest 15 minutes.
  • Knead dough about 1 minute. Roll dough into a rectangle to fit a jelly roll pan or large cookie sheet, about 15x10 inches. Place on greased pan and press dough evenly into pan forming an edge. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place for 20-30 minutes until slightly risen. With handle/end of wooden spoon, make indentations in dough at every inch. Brush dough with olive oil, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian Seasoning (Grinder) and garlic salt.
  • Bake in preheated 400' F oven for 12 minutes or until nicely browned. Cool slightly and cut into squares for serving. Can be served warm or cooled.

Tips:

  • Proof the dough at a warm temperature: This will help the dough to rise properly and give it a light and airy texture.
  • Use a heavy skillet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the bread from burning.
  • Cook the bread over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bread from burning.
  • Flip the bread frequently: This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
  • Brush the bread with olive oil: This will help to keep the bread moist and flavorful.
  • Top the bread with your favorite toppings: Cheese, vegetables, and meat are all popular options.
