Focaccia Bread


Focaccia Bread is an Italian savory bread which can be blended with soup and pasta. For carb lovers and soup enthusiasts this will be a treat.

It can be topped with bacon ,caramelized onion or cheese. Today i here with a classic version with herbs and olives.

Focaccia Bread Recipe


Don't worry about hearing the name. The recipe is simple as compared to other breads. Hard kneading is not necessary here..


Ingredients:

Warm water-1 cup

Dry activated yeast-1tbsp

Sugar -1tbsp

Olive oil-3tbsp

Salt-a pinch

Chilly Flakes- 1tbsp

Flour- 1 Cup


Focaccia Bread




To make flavorful Focaccia bread you need to combine  warm water ,yeast , sugar and keep it aside for at least 10 minutes to rise. If your yeast doesn't rise no need to think about it. Through it and do  again. This may happen because your warm water may not be warm enough for the yeast to start the process. Check it after 10 minutes if there is froth or thick foam.
