Making my flower art focaccia 💐
🥖INGREDIENTS🥖
Dough:
* 350g organic bread flour
* 7g instant yeast
* 2 tsp fine sea salt
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 250ml lukewarm water
Toppings:
* Tomatoes
* Fresh basil
* Chopped olives
* 1 tbsp Olive oil
* Sea salt flakes
🥖METHOD🥖
* Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl. Mix the yeast into one side of the flour, and the fine salt into the other side. Then mix everything together.
* Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the olive oil and lukewarm water. Add gradually until you have a slightly sticky dough.
* Sprinkle the work surface with flour and tip the dough onto it. Knead for 5 - 10 minutes, until your dough is soft and less sticky. Put the dough into a clean bowl, cover with a damp tea towel or cling-film and leave to prove for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
* Oil a rectangle tin (approximately 20 × 25 cm). Carefully tease the dough out of the bowl and into the tin, then gently stretch it to fill the tin.
* Using your fresh tomatoes, chopped olives and basil, create a flower pattern by gently pressing them into the dough.
* Cover with cling-film or a damp tea towel and leave to prove for another 35 - 45 minutes.
* Heat oven to 220° C/ 200° C fan/ gas and bake for 20 minutes until golden.
* Whilst the bread is still hot, drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle over flaked sea salt.
