Focaccia

I'm really grateful for having this 5-day break,which enable me to enjoy my sweet time at home and do whatever I like. So what have I baked this time?

Deng, deng, deng, deng....

FOCACCIA (pronounced [foˈkatːʃa] foe-CAH-cha)





This time I bake something different from the normal type of bread. It's a modified-style of Focaccia. According to Wikipedia, Focaccia is a flat oven-baked Italian bread, usually seasoned with herbs and olive oil, topped with onion, cheese and meat. Focaccia doughs are similar to pizza doughs in terms of style and texture. I used my bread machine to help in kneading the doughs consisting of bread flour, olive oil, yeast, sugar and water.

I adapt this recipe from DailyDelicious. I stuffed the Focaccia with Cheddar cheese and ham, and spreaded some mix herbs on top. What can I say about the taste of this bread? I like the combination of the ham with cheddar cheese, it's really cheezy. As for the bread, it's crusty, and best served when it's warm and freshly baked.

Will try this recipe again in future, but will replace the cheese and ham with garlic spread instead..hehe...
