Focaccia
With sun-dried tomatoes, olives and oregano.
Imagine that you are going to a dinner party at your friends house. You've arrived, you're standing there waiting for the door to open and as soon as it opens you feel the smell which reminds you of something, like one of your travels while ago. Then, your nose brings you where the smell comes from and you see a painting. You become breathless. Once again those simple things combined and created something beautiful. The evening is full of talk and laughter, you're sitting down enjoying the painting. You're right there and in the moment surrounded by those little things of joy.
Ingridients:
- 280g wheat + 220g oat flour (mixed together)
- 460ml water at room temperature
- 14g dry yeast
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 6 tbsp. olive oil
- oregano
- sun-dried tomatoes
- olives
- salt
- vegetables for the topping (I used spring onions, paprika, red onion and cherry tomatoes)
Instructions:
1.Combine yeast, sugar and water in a big bowl. Add half of the flour.
2.Mix all together. Add cutted olives and sun-dried tomatoes (as much as you want) and the rest of the flour.
3.Mix again. Place a towel over the top and leave to ferment in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
4.When the dough has doubled it's size, place it on a baking tray and even it out. Then pour over the olive oil and sprinkle oregano and salt.
5.Using your fingers poke the holes in the dough. And then get creative by decorating. (If you do not like to improvise, pinterest is full with ideas). Leave the dough rest for another 30 minutes. Then bake it for 30-40 minutes at 210 degrees Celsius until the focaccia is golden brown. Cool it down and enjoy!
Tips&Tricks:
- you can skip the olives or sun-dried tomatoes
- any other flour might be used instead of oat flour
- baking time will depend not only on the characteristics of the oven, but also on the size of the chosen baking tray - the larger the shape, the shorter the duration of baking
