Focaccia Bread - Real Recipes from Mums

I love this traditional focaccia bread recipe! IT SMELLS AMAZING and tastes sooo good!

Ingredients (serves 4 | makes 4 toasted focaccia sandwiches)

2 3/4 cup All purpose flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp White sugar
1 packet Yeast
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp Dried basil
1 pinch Black pepper
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 cup Warm water
2 tbs Olive oil

Method

Mix the yeast and water in a small bowl. let it sit for 10 mins until bubbles start to appear.
In a large bowl combine the rest of the dry ingredients. add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil and mix.
Once the dough is mixed together place it onto a floured flat surface and knead until smooth and elastic
Once the dough has been kneaded oil a bowl and place the dough into it and cover in oil. let the dough sit for 25mins to rise in a warm place and with a warm cloth to cover.
Punch the dough down and place on greased baking paper. pat the dough into 1/2 inch thick rectangle and using your knuckles to indent then pick with a fork. Brush with olive oil and chuck it in the oven at 200°c

Notes

In my toasted focaccia bread I like to add tomato chutney grilled capsicum, grilled egg plant, grilled zucchini, avocado, balsamic vinegar glaze, spinach and pesto. you could get creative and do anything, you could even try a chicken and avo focaccia.
