Focaccia (4 PTS) Recipe - Cooking Index
1 | Dry yeast | |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Sugar |
3/4 cup | 177ml | Warm water |
2 1/4 cups | 140g / 4.9oz | Bread flour - divided |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Dried Italian seasoning |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Olive oil |
Vegetable cooking spray | ||
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Cornmeal |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Olive oil |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Grated Parmesan cheese |
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
Place 2 cups flour, salt, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Add
yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to form a soft dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and
elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at
a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands. Place in a large bowl
coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a
warm place (85 oF), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Preheat oven to 500 oF.
Punch dough down. Pat dough into an 8 x 10 inch rectangle on a lightly
floured surface. Place dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray
and sprinkled with cornmeal. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or your
fingertips, make indentations in top of dough. Gently brush dough with 1
teaspoon oil, and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 500 oF for 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into squares,
and serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.
