Pesto dough
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | tablespoon | Rapid rise; (\"Bread-machine\") yeast |
| 1½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | cup | Cornmeal |
| 3 | cups | All-purpose flour |
| ⅓ | cup | Olive oil; (flavored if you like) |
| 1¼ | cup | Water or more to form a smooth ball |
| 3 | tablespoons | Your home-made pesto; (I know they probably sell it in the grocery where you work, but it ain't the same) |
Directions
Place all ingredients in the machine in the correct order and program for Dough or Manual. When this cycle is completed, pat, roll, stretch the dough into a flat disc on a peel or a 12-14 inch pizza pan which is sprinkled with cornmeal or lightly oiled. Cover with a clean cloth and allow it to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
with shelf and/or stone in center position. Just before inserting the focaccia into the oven, make little dimples all over its surface. Drizzle entire surface with 2 or more TBSP olive oil and sprinkle with 1 - 2 tsp of coarse salt, e.g. Kosher salt. Bake 18-20 minutes until top is golden brown. I baked mine in a pizza pan and at 15 minutes, slid the focaccia off the pan directly onto the stone--supposedly for a crisper crust.
