Sundays are fairly laid back around our place - sleep in, breakfast, a second cup of coffee, Sunday papers...........and make some dough for an afternoon snack.
Focaccia dough
450g High grade flour
3 teaspoons dried yeast ( I use Williams Sonoma)
280ml warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Sprinkle the yeast onto a 1/4 cup of the warm water to soften.
In a large bowl place flour, salt, olive oil and remaining water.
Add softened yeast.
Mix all together and knead until dough is pliable. This only takes a few minutes.
Oil bowl and place dough in bowl, turning over so both sides are oiled.
Cover with a cloth and in a warm spot until doubled in size.
Punch down and knead dough for a couple of minutes.
Put it in a pan and make dimples in it with your knuckles.
For the topping I softened sliced red onions in a little oil. Added some chopped rosemary and about 8 sun dried tomatoes and spread it over the dough.
Bake it in a 230C oven for 15 minutes.
When it is cooked it will look like this.
We ate it with Indian Curry and Vegetable soup I bought from the store.
