Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups warm water (105°F; to 115°F;)
2 teaspoons dry yeast
4 1/2 cups (about) all purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
24 black or green brine-cured olives (such as Kalamata or Greek),pitted, halved
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried

Steps:

  • Place 2 cups warm water in large bowl. Sprinkle dry yeast over; stir with fork. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes.
  • Add 4 1/4 cups flour and salt to yeast mixture and stir to blend well (dough will be sticky). Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and elastic, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls if dough is sticky, about 10 minutes. Form dough into ball. Oil large bowl; add dough, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm area until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough; knead into ball and return to same bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm area until doubled, about 45 minutes or less
  • Coat 15x10-inch baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Punch down dough. Transfer to prepared sheet. Using fingertips, press out dough to 13x10-inch rectangle. Let dough rest 10 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over dough. Sprinkle olives and chopped rosemary evenly over. Let dough rise uncovered in warm area until puffy, about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 475°F. Press fingertips all over dough, forming indentations. Bake bread until brown and crusty, about 20 minutes. Serve bread warm or at room temperature.

ROSEMARY ONION FOCACCIA



Rosemary Onion Focaccia image

This recipe is gratifying to make by hand. The dough is easy to mix and knead and produces consistently delicious results.

Provided by Anna Olson

Categories     appetizer,bake,Bake With Anna Olson,bread,dinner,herbs,lunch,side,snack,vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ cup warm water, just above body temperature (105 F)
2 ¼ tsp (1 pkg) instant dry yeast
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup semolina flour, plus extra for sprinkling on pans
5-5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp coarse sea salt
½ medium red onion, sliced
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
3-4 Tbsp olive oil
coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Mix the water, yeast, oil and semolina in a large mixing bowl and stir to blend. Add the flour once cup at a time, stirring well with a wooden spoon after each addition. Once the dough becomes too difficult to mix by hand, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and add the salt. Continue to knead until all the flour has been worked in (you may not need the final ½ cup of flour) and the dough develops and smooth and elastic consistency, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a large, oiled bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
  • Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface again and divide it in half. Roll out each piece of dough into a rectangle 10-x-15-inches in size. Line 2 baking trays of this size (or a little larger) with parchment paper, and sprinkle each with a little semolina. Lift the rolled doughs onto each pan and cover the trays with a tea towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the tea towels, and use your fingertips to gently "dimple" the dough, cover and let rise another 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Toss the red onion, rosemary and olive oil to coat. Remove the tea towels from the dough and sprinkle the onions evenly over the dough, trying to coat as much of the dough with the olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake the focaccia for about 25 minutes until a rich golden brown colour. Carefully remove the focaccia from the trays to cool (to prevent the bottom of the bread from going soft) and cool to room temperature before slicing.
  • The focaccia will keep for a day, or can be frozen up to 2 months.

OLIVE AND ROSEMARY FOCACCIA



Olive and Rosemary Focaccia image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon sugar
One 1/4-ounce packet instant yeast
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for sprinkling
1 small yellow onion, quartered and sliced
One 5.3-ounce jar pitted green olives, drained
1 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and grease with a thin layer of olive oil.
  • Place sugar and 1 1/2 cups water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
  • Combine the bread flour, all-purpose flour, salt and the tablespoon rosemary in a large bowl. Add to the mixer along with the oil. Knead the dough on medium speed until it forms a smooth, supple ball that is not sticky to the touch, about 5 minutes. Turn the dough out on the prepared sheet tray, drizzle with olive oil and cover with a bowl or clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise until it doubles in size, about 2 hours.
  • Using oiled fingertips, gently press the dough out onto the sheet tray, making dimpled indentations all over the dough. Cover with a towel and allow to rise again for another 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the dough with the onions, olives and rosemary and drizzle generously with oil. Bake the focaccia until it is puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt flakes before serving.

OLIVE, ROSEMARY, AND ONION FOCACCIA



Olive, Rosemary, and Onion Focaccia image

Categories     Bread     Olive     Onion     Side     Bake     Rosemary     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 9

a 1/4-ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves plus whole rosemary leaves
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 pound Kalamata, Niçoise, or green Greek olives or a combination, pitted and cut into slivers (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook stir together the yeast, the sugar, and 1 3/4 cups lukewarm water and proof the yeast mixture for 5 minutes, or until it is foamy. Stir in 4 1/2 cups of the flour, the salt, and 2 tablespoons of the oil and knead the dough, scraping down the dough hook occasionally and adding as much of the remaining 1/2 cup flour as necessary to form a soft, slightly sticky dough, for 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turn it to coat it with the oil, and let it rise, covered, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk. Knead in the chopped rosemary, press the dough with lightly oiled hands into a well-oiled 15 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pan, and let it rise, covered loosely, for 30 minutes. The dough may be made 8 hours in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Dimple the dough with your fingertips, making 1/4-inch-deep indentations, brush it with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and top it with the onion, the olives, the salt, and the whole rosemary leaves. Bake the focaccia in the bottom third of a preheated 400°F. oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until it is golden and cooked through. Transfer the focaccia to a rack, let it cool for 10 minutes, and serve it, cut into squares, warm or at room temperature.

RED ONION, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY FOCACCIA



Red Onion, Garlic and Rosemary Focaccia image

A flat-oven baked bread originating in Italy. Don't be afraid by the amount of topping suggested - a whole red onion will be so much that you can't see the surface of the bread anymore; but it all shrivels up when cooked, and using less will make it quite bland. Dill and sage also both work quite well with this recipe. Although this makes '1 loaf' because I only have 12 x 8 baking trays I tend to split this into two loaves and bake them separately, or else it gets squashed. Also beware of adding extra liquid - this tends to suck liquid away and then surprise you when you start kneading, so make sure you've properly mixed before you add anymore

Provided by Boo L

Categories     Breads

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 11

350 g strong white flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
7 ml dried yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
225 ml warm water
1 red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl.
  • Stir in the yeast, (this should be 1 dessert spoon but Zaar doesn't like it -- so it's about half a tbsp) oil and water.
  • Mix to a dough. Add more liquid if kneaded (depends on the dough you're using) but be careful.
  • Turn the dough out and knead it for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
  • Place in an oiled bowl in a warm place (window sill / airing cupboard) for about an hour to double in bulk. Cover it with cling film or a wet tea towel to stop it from forming a crust. (If it does, then knead it some more to get rid of it - but it will then need more proving time to get the air back).
  • Roll the dough out into a rough oval shape about 1cm thick, and place onto an oiled baking tray.
  • Make deep holes in the dough about 1 inch apart.
  • Allow to rise for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / GM6
  • Mix together the remaining oil, garlic and rosemary (leave to sit for a little while to flavour the oil).
  • Spread over the surface of the bread, and cover with the chopped onion.
  • Sprinkle over the salt, and then flick on some cold water to stop a skin from warming as it cooks.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, and then cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients. The freshness and flavor of your focaccia will depend on the quality of the ingredients you use. Make sure to use fresh rosemary, onions, and olive oil.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to double in size and develop a light and airy texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the focaccia pan. Leave some space between the pieces of dough so that they have room to rise and expand.
  • Bake the focaccia in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Olive rosemary and onion focaccia is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or used to make sandwiches, paninis, and croutons. It's a great recipe for beginner bakers and experienced bakers alike. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this focaccia is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
