What about Focaccia or Pizza?
Or both of it in the same time?
Focaccia is similar to pizza in that it is a yeasted dough with toppings.
Pizza dough is typically made with yeast, water, and flour, while focaccia dough includes olive oil.
Pizza is made with less yeast, resulting in a flatter, more flexible crust.
More yeast in focaccia dough makes for a thicker bread.
This focaccia pizza is the perfect combination of Italian focaccia bread and toppings, and it takes
just minutes to
throw together. All you need is about 1 1/2 hours to let the dough rest and proof.
Soooo let's start with The recipe π.
Ingredients:
1 cup of warm water
1 teaspoon of honey
2 teaspoons of active dry east
2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour,divided
1 teaspoon of fine salt
6 tablespoons of olive oil, divided
Steps to make it:
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the warm water, honey, and yeast until
combined;
let
stand for 5 minutes. Alternatively, use a large bowl and mix by hand.
Add 2 1/4 cups of the flour, salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oilβmix to create a shaggy dough, scraping down the
bowl
occasionally.
Switch to the dough hook; add enough of the remaining 1/2 cup flour to make a sticky dough, mixing on medium
speed
for 3
to 4 minutes, or knead with hands on a lightly floured surface. The dough should be sticky, so try to avoid
adding
too
much flour.
Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, covered, and let it rise until
doubled
in size, about 1 hour.
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a rimmed 10 x 15-inch, or 9 x 13-inch sheet pan.
Place the dough in the pan and let it rest for 15 minutesβthis will relax the dough, making it easier to stretch
and
form to the pan.
Gently stretch the dough to fit in the pan. Cover it loosely and let it rise for 20 minutes longer. Meanwhile,
position
a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 450 F.
Dimple the dough all over with fingertips, transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the par-baked focaccia from the oven. Add your favourite toppings and return the Focaccia Pizza
to
the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
