Welcome My Friends! โ˜บ๏ธ

Today I’m making Italian Focaccia with Onions! This is such an easy and versatile recipe and the results are delicious! You could make this bread without the onions and use it as I do, like a pizza dough! You could use herbs on top, or Parmesan cheese or even work in some olives into the dough. This bread is great on it’s own with a nice green salad with Italian dressing!

Onion Focaccia Bread RECIPE
Yield: 1 Focaccia Loaf
Ingredients
1.5 cups (375 ml) warm water (105-115 F / 40-46 C)
1 tbsp (15 g) brown sugar
1 tbsp (10 g) active dry yeast
1/2 cup (125 ml) extra light olive oil, divided
1.5 tsp (12 g) salt
4.5 cups (670 g) bread flour
1/2 cup (60 g) chopped yellow onions
Coarse salt

Directions
1. In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the warm water and a pinch of sugar. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir to dissolve. Let rest 10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the remaining water, sugar, 1/4 cup (62 ml) of olive oil, salt and 1 cup (155 g) of the flour. Mix with a spatula until creamy.
3. Add another cup (155 g) of the bread flour. Mix well.
4. Add the rest of the flour, one scoop at a time and combine well with your spatula. When it gets too tough with the spatula, pour out the dough onto your work surface and gently knead in the remaining flour. Add the onions to the dough and knead until they are well distributed.
5. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with cling film and let rest in a warm spot for 20 minutes.
6. Oil a 9 x 13 inch (22 cm x 33 cm) pan. Turn the dough out into the pan. Flatten the dough with oiled fingers to the shape of the pan. Cover with oiled cling film and let rest in a warm spot for about 1 hour until doubled in bulk.
7. With oiled fingers, “dimple” the dough, pushing your fingertips down to the bottom of the pan. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, cover with cling film and let rest 30 minutes.
8. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425 F (220 C, gas mark 7).
9. Sprinkle the bread with coarse salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
10. Remove the focaccia from the pan immediately using a metal spatula to loosen the sides; let cool on a rack before serving.

  1. But it must taste like regular homemade bread no? The fact that you used bread flour. Usually foccacia has nice big bubbles inside. I wonder if using that European flour 00 would achieve the results of a more elastic, airy, bubbly dough. I am sure yours is quite delicious but I am pretty certain you know what I mean. What do you think? Thank you!
