focaccia bread with olives and rosemary recipe
Ingredients
3 cups white flour
1 ½ cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
black or green olives
small tomatoes
small cubes of cheese
For greasing the dough:
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 tablespoon green thyme
How to prepare
Put the oil, water, yeast and sugar in a bowl and stir well, then cover and leave until the yeast reacts.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt and knead the ingredients until we have a non-stick dough.
Grease the tray with oil, extend the dough in it, cover it and leave it to ferment in the tray for two or three hours in the fridge or at least an hour.
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, rosemary, oregano, basil and thyme and stir well.
After the dough has fermented, brush it with a mixture of olive oil and herbs, then arrange the tomatoes, olives and cheese cubes.
Put the tray in the oven at a temperature of 200 for about a quarter of an hour or until the bread is golden from the sides, then turn on the grill to acquire a color from the top.
Remove the focaccia from the oven, slice it and it is ready to be served.
