Focaccia Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Place the ingredients into the pan in the order recommended by your bread machine.
• Program the machine for "dough cycle".
• Check dough about 10 minutes before the end of the 2nd kneading cycle.
• It should be a smooth, sticky ball.
• Adjust if needed with more flour or water.
• When the machine has completed its cycle, transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
• Roll or pat it into a large rectangle, about 17x12 inches.
• Transfer the dough onto a large, lightly greased cookie sheet.
• Let it rest 10 minutes then pat it back to its original shape if it has shrunk.
• Cover with a towel and let rise for about forty minutes or till puffy.
• Sprinkle the salt & herbs over the bread.
• Press into the dough at intervals with your fingers& sprinkle with the olive oil.
• Bake the focaccia in a preheated 425°F oven for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven & cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Place all of the above ingredients, accurately measured and in the order I have listed them, in the Bread Machine.
• Select the 'dough' cycle.
• When the cycle is complete, take the dough out of the Bread Machine, and proceed with the following steps: On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
• (you may need to add extra flour during this time) Place the 'Focaccia' dough in a well grease bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm (and draught free) place for about 1/2 an hour.
• Then, knead the dough lightly (in the bowl) for about 1 minute.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangular shape (about 20 cm x 30 cm)
• Place on a well greased baking tray (or sponge roll tin) and leave to rise again, in a warm place, this time for about 1 hour (or until it has doubled in it's original size) Now pour and smooth over with your fingers, 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• 'Poke' the dough with 2 fingers at intervals over the surface, and sprinkle liberally with rock salt or equal measurements of olive oil and Basil pesto mixed together with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, top with chopped up sun-dried tomatoes and sliced black olives!
• YUM!
• Bake at 225°C for about 15 minutes or until golden brown!

Steps:

• In bread machine, place dough ingredients in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough setting.
• After 5 minutes of mixing, check to see if you need to add 1 tbsp water or flour.
• When dough cycle is complete, place dough onto a lightly greased 12" pizza pan and pat into a 10" circle.
• Cover and let rise in warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, in large skillet saute onions and butter for 15 minutes.
• Add minced garlic and cook 5 minutes more. Stir in Italian seasonings.
• Using the end of a wooden spoon, make deep indentations 1 " apart in dough.
• Top with onion mixture and cheeses.
• Bake at 400F 15-18 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

Steps:

• BREAD DOUGH CYCLE:.
• Add lukewarm water to pan.
• Add bread flour, dry milk, sugar and salt to pan. Tap pan to settle dry ingredients, then level ingredients, pushing some of the mixture into corners. Place butter into corners of pan.
• Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add yeast, lock pan into bread maker.
• Program for DOUGH. Start bread maker. When done, remove pan from bread maker. Place dough onto floured surface. Let rest 15 minutes.
• Knead dough about 1 minute. Roll dough into a rectangle to fit a jelly roll pan or large cookie sheet, about 15x10 inches. Place on greased pan and press dough evenly into pan forming an edge. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place for 20-30 minutes until slightly risen. With handle/end of wooden spoon, make indentations in dough at every inch. Brush dough with olive oil, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, Italian Seasoning (Grinder) and garlic salt.
• Bake in preheated 400' F oven for 12 minutes or until nicely browned. Cool slightly and cut into squares for serving. Can be served warm or cooled.
• Sit back and enjoy the raves ;).

Steps:

• Dough: Put the 1 1/2 cup water in the bread machine.
• Add the other ingredients in this order: sugar, salt, oil, flour, yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and black pepper.
• Place bread machine on dough setting and start.
• Note the amount of time your bread machine will take and set another timer for this amount (or do it manually, I use the timer on my microwave for for this).
• As soon as the dough forms a ball (several minutes) add the 3 tbsp lukewarm water.
• This amount of flour is more than most bread machines can handle, so check every 10 minutes when it is not actively mixing.
• If it's getting too high, just stop the dough cycle and restart it (this is why the other timer is needed).
• At the end of the time (on my machine it is 130 minutes) turn off the bread machine and remove the dough.
• Grease a large pizza pan (or a large rectangular cookie sheet with sides, or 2 small pizza pans) and turn the dough out on it (I usually put a bit of oil or cooking spray on my hands so It doesn't stick to me).
• Spread the dough evenly on the pan, making it higher on the edges of the pan for a crust.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double.
• About 15-20 minutes.
• Toppings: Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
• Add as many optional toppings as you wish (invent some if you wish).
• Sprinkle with parmesan.
• Bake until golden about 15-20 minutes at 350°F.
