Quick Foccacia

  

Ingredients

8" round cake pan

• 80g all purpose flour + 100g bread flour
• or 175g all purpose flour + 5g vital wheat gluten
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 8g sugar
• 7g instant yeast
• 20g olive oil (+ more for greasing pan and topping)
• 135ml hot water (it should feel hot but not painful-to-touch kind of hot)
• Italian seasoning

Steps

1. Put the flour, salt, sugar, Italian seasoning, water, and olive oil in the bread machine and select "dough".
2. Grease the cake pan with olive oil. Once the dough is ready, transfer it to the cake pan and stretch it to the sides. Add additional Italian herb mix on top to taste.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place for second proof for 30mins - 1hour.
4. Once proved, drizzle olive oil over the top, and transfer to a cold (not preheated) oven
5. Turn the oven to 400°F and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Comments

• The focaccia is a little too tall for the pan. The hydration ratio can also be increased. Reduced the flour from 235g to 180g. Reduced the sugar accordingly.
• It can use less oil in the dough. Reduced from 40g to 20g.
