Servings10 slices
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 and ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¾ to 1 cup luke warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt to taste
For the garlic spread:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, take flour, sugar, salt, olive oil and yeast – Mix well first. Then add luke warm water.
- Knead it well to a smooth slightly sticky dough.
- Set aside undisturbed for at least 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size. Punch down and knead it once again.
- Chop garlic finely.
- In a bowl take melted butter, olive oil along with oregano, chilli flakes, garlic, coriander leaves and required salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Preheat oven at 220 deg C for 10mins.
- Take the dough in the pan you are going to bake, sprinkle little flour. Roll it to ¼ inch thickness.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture over it and spread it evenly on all sides. The dough will become little loose after adding butter and oil.
- Make dents with your fingers and bake in preheated oven for about 20-25mins or until you see a golden top.
- Cool completely, then slice.
- Serve Focaccia Bread warm with soup!
Notes
- Yeast – I used instant yeast here because it is easy to handle. If you are using dry yeast then soak and activate before adding.
- Kneading dough – The dough should be little sticky and soft. If it becomes stiff like chapathi dough then the bread will turn hard after baking.
- Flour mix – Many times I use half wheat and half maida, this way the bread is soft but still a bit healthy.
- Garlic topping – Garlic turns crisp when baked fully. If you like it soft and chewy then add garlic pieces in last 10 minutes of baking.
- Cheese option – You can sprinkle little grated cheese on top before baking. It gives nice rich taste and kids usually love it more.
- Cooling bread – Always allow bread to cool before cutting. If you slice when it is hot the pieces may break and not look neat.
