Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in the warm water for about 5 minutes, until it becomes cloudy and bubble.
- Mix the flour, table salt, garlic powder, and fresh or dry herbs in the bowl of a mixer with the paddle attachment.
- With the mixer running on low, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil until the dough becomes formed and sticky. Switch over to the dough hook, and knead on medium to high for about 5 minutes. Toss a little extra flour around the edges of the bowl and knead for another 5 minutes on low.
- Remove the dough from the mixer bowl and transfer to large bowl that has been oiled. Let it hang out there for about an hour and half until it has doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit when the dough has about 15 minutes left to rise.
- Once the dough has fully risen, gently dump it out onto a baking sheet that you've lined with parchment paper and shape it into a flat, rounded, loaf. Poke the heck out of it with your fingers to make the little indentations, then drizzle the extra olive oil over the top and brush it to distribute evenly. Top with rosemary and onions, then finish with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before cutting. Serve with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping!

Steps:
- Tip the flour into a mixing bowl. For easy-blend dried yeast, stir this into the flour. For fresh yeast, crumble it and rub into the flour as you would with butter when making pastry. Add the salt and sugar.
- Boil the kettle and measure 100ml into a jug. Top up with cold water to the 300ml mark. Test the temperature with your finger - it should feel perfectly hand-hot. Add the oil.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid all at once. Mix quickly using your hands or a wooden fork to make a soft and slightly sticky dough. Wipe the dough around the bowl to pick up any loose flour.
- Sprinkle the work surface with flour and tip out the dough. Knead by stretching it away from you, then folding it in half towards you and pushing it away with the heel of your hand. Give it a quarter turn and repeat, developing a rhythm.
- When the dough is smooth, put it back into the mixing bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rest for 1 hr (no need to find a warm place). The dough is ready when it springs back when you press it with your finger.
- Thinly slice the onion and gently cook in the oil until softened, about 5 mins. Cut the gruyère into small cubes. Chop half the rosemary.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead in the onion and chopped rosemary.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough in half. Roll or press out one piece of dough to a rectangular shape about 20cm x 25cm, then transfer to a baking sheet lined with non-stick paper. Make a large diagonal cut across the centre of the dough almost to the ends. Make three smaller diagonal cuts either side of the large cut to make a leaf shape.
- Repeat with the other piece of dough. Stick gruyère cubes and rosemary sprigs into the dough at intervals, then sprinkle with a little flour and sea salt. Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8. Leave the loaves to prove for 20 mins then bake for 13-15 mins until golden. Serve warm with soups and starters.

Steps:

- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the onions over the dough and scatter with the rosemary. Press your fingers into the dough to make dimples, drizzle the remaining oil over and scatter over the salt, then bake for 30 mins until golden. Leave to cool, then serve cut or torn into squares.

RED ONION, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY FOCACCIA
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

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.

Steps:
- Pour the warm water and honey into the bowl of your electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Add one package of dry active yeast and swirl around. Allow the yeast to foam for 10 minutes or so.
- Then add the cold water, lemon zest, 2 Tb. oil, salt, rosemary and onions. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the flour.
- Once all the flour is in the bowl, switch the paddle to the bread hook attachment. "Knead" on low for about 10 minutes.
- Pull the dough away from the sides and rub the bowl down with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for 1 ½ to 2 hours. Remove the plastic wrap and turn the mixer back on for 30 seconds.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and press with your fingers into two 9-10 inch round pans. As you press to dough to the edges, don't be afraid to let your fingers puncture the dough-this will created the bumpy, rustic texture of traditional focaccia.
- Cover both pans with a clean, damp towel. Allow the dough to rise again for another 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 400* F.
- Before baking use the remaining tablespoon of oil and brush the tops of the loaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and decorate with thin onion slices, if you like.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are golden-brown. Turn out the bread loaves and ENJOY!

Tips:
- Choose the right flour: Bread flour or all-purpose flour can be used for this recipe. Bread flour will result in a chewier focaccia, while all-purpose flour will produce a softer texture.
- Proof the yeast properly: This is an important step to ensure that your focaccia rises properly. Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which will give your focaccia a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Top the focaccia with your favorite toppings: Before baking, brush the top of the focaccia with olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include red onion, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the focaccia until golden brown: Bake the focaccia in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
Conclusion:
This red onion, garlic, and rosemary focaccia is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course.
