Foccacia Bread Recipe

...brought to you by Recipes EU



Foccacia Bread
2 tbsp yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup warm water
2 cup warm water
1/3 cup olive oil
6 1/2 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
4 tsp salt -toppings
olive oil
coarse salt
Parmesan cheese, fresh, grated
fresh rosemary leaves


Stir sugar into 1/2 cup warm water. Sprinkle yeast on top. Set aside 5
minutes to proof. Stir in 2 cups flour and olive oil. Mix flour and
salt. Use the dough hook on an electric mixer and add half the flour
mixture. Mix to blend. Add the rest of the flour/salt mixture and
knead until smooth and elastic and slightly sticky. Add a teaspoon of
water at a time if it is too dry, or a bit more flour if too sticky.

Coat a large bowl lightly with oil, put in the ball of dough and turn
over so it is coated with oil. Cover with a light cloth or saran wrap
and let rise in a warm place 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Form into focaccias. You will get 2 large focaccias (reaching the edges
of a lg jelly roll pan) or 6 medium (good if using for pizza. 2 of
these fit nicely into a gallon zip-lock bag and make generous individual
pizzas). Top with olive oil, rosemary, and salt for traditional
focaccia, add Parmesan if desired, or leave plain with only olive oil if
using for pizza. Let rise 45 minutes to 1 hour covered.

Bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees. If freezing, bake 10-15 minutes, just
until the crust is set but not brown. Wrap or bag and freeze. To
serve, put in 400 degree oven 10-15 minutes until golden brown. To
serve as pizza, thaw, add toppings, and bake until toppings are hot and
cheese is melted.

Weight loss hints and tips

If you enjoy your food, but want to shed a few kilos and develop your general healthfulness, among other things you should commence a specially configured wholesome dietary regime. If possible, this ought to contain five helpings of grains, cereals and vegetables every day and also require the optimum mixture of fat, carbs and protein.

The feelings of being thirsty and being hungry are quite alike, albeit one of them leads to a fat tummy and the other one is ok.

As an alternative to thinking about which food types you really should ban from your weight loss program, look at the sensible foods that you are able to bring into your daily routine. If you are able to inject some beneficial fruit/vegetables into your weight loss program, you'll discover that you feel more full and have a significantl;y reduced chance of giving in to those damaging mid-day sweets and chocolates.
