Now this is actually a recipe for pizza dough, but you add to the base to make either pizza or focaccia. I had a crack at this recipe the other day, and cooked the focaccia on the BBQ with excellent results.

 

Dough

 

Into a breadmaker add:

1 cup water

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups high grade flour

4 teaspoons Surebake yeast

 

Place breadmaker on ‘dough’ cycle. When the dough is made, flatten out onto a tray covered in baking paper. The dough will try to spring back into a ball, so it will take some effort to coax it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. When flattened, brush with topping.

 

Topping

 

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons crushed garlic

1 tablespoon freshly chopped rosemary leaves

½ cup sliced pitted black olives

1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

Freshly ground rock salt

 

Bake at about 200 degrees celcius until the top has browned and the bread is cooked. Serve with hummus or other dips.
