I had been wanting to make focaccia bread for a while, I love the texture and taste of it but so many recipes are time consuming, I'm not good at time consuming. When I stumbled across this recipe on Crunchy Creamy Sweet, I had to try it, and I'm so glad I did! It's a new family favorite.
Dough:
3/4 cup warm water
1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp dry active yeast
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
Topping:
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
Grease the skillet if necessary. In the bottom of a mixer, stir warm water and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy. On low speed add 1 cup of flour, salt and olive oil then mix until combined. Gradually add in the remaining cup of flour until the dough begins to pull away from the sides. Heat the oven to 220. Once the oven is preheated turn it off but keep the door closed. Roll the dough out on a floured surface and fold over several times until it is smooth. Shape back into a ball then place in the skillet and stretch to the sides. Cover with a towel and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and heat the oven to 400. Make indentions in the dough with fingers. In a bowl melt the butter then stir in the grated parmesan cheese and italian seasoning. Brush half of the mixture over the dough. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with the remaining butter.
