Whole-wheat focaccia

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ teaspoon Honey
1 cup Warm water; (scant)
1 pack Active dry yeast
¾ cup Whole-wheat flour
2 cups All-purpose flour
½ cup White cornmeal
½ teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Stir honey into the warm water in a measuring cup or small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over water and stir until yeast dissolves. Let mixture stand in draft-free area about 5 minutes or until yeast begins to bubble. Mix flour and cornmeal with salt and oil in a food processor fitted with a steel blade or in an electric mixer with a dough hook. To mix dough by hand, use a bowl and wooden spoon. Pour in yeast mixture and process until a soft, almost sticky dough is formed, 5 to 10 seconds. If using an electric mixer, mix 3 minutes or until a smooth dough is formed. If mixing dough by hand, mix ingredients until a smooth, slightly sticky dough is formed, 3 to 5 minutes. Knead dough by hand on a lightly floured board or pastry cloth until smooth. If dough is too sticky, add flour by the tablespoon until it reaches the desired consistency. Put dough in a bowl and cover lightly with oiled plastic wrap and aluminum foil or a kitchen towel. Let dough rise until it doubles in bulk, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Punch dough down and let stand 5 minutes. Knead for a few minutes more on a lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Divide dough in half and pat each half into a sprayed 9" baking pan or spring-form pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake focaccia in the center of the oven for 25 minutes or until it tests done. The focaccia is done when a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out dry. It will be golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool.
