This focaccia is so good and yet so easy to make. You don't have to let it rise twice like other breads. You can make it on a 11x15-inch baking sheet or 14 or 15-inch pizza pan, making it easy and fast to prepare. The bread only requires a single rise before baking and takes just 15 minutes to bake.
The Italian herb and spice packet included in the mix will give your bread a truly authentic taste, making it perfect for dipping or loading up with your favorite toppings. Try it today and taste the difference! I like to split it and make Italian sandwiches.
Give it a try. It's versatile and scrumptios. Your family will love it.
For pizza toppings:
Experiment with other toppings. To make a meal out of your foccacia, dress it up like a pizza. Spread it with spaghetti or pizza sauce. Add the packaged herb topping for authentic flavors.
If you like, press fresh greens such as arugula, spinach, or dandelion around the perimeter to create an attractive border for other toppings. Add mozzarella or another cheese, red and yellow peppers, cooked and quartered new potatoes, sautŽed onions, tomato slices, roasted garlic, kalamata or green olives, anchovies, or cooked but not-too-crisp bacon.
Press the toppings into the dough for a chewier crust but let the bread rest for ten minutes after adding these ingredients and prior to baking.
For bread sticks:
Turn the dough out onto a greased countertop. Roll the dough until 3/8-inch thick. With a sharp knife, slice the dough into 3/4 inch wide strips for crisp breadsticks and 1 1/2 inch wide strips for chewier breadsticks.
Place on a prepared pan, cover, and let rise for about 40 minutes. Brush with the herb and oil mixture. Bake at 400 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Serve as appetizers or as an easy after school snack with olive oil, spaghetti, or marinara sauce for dipping.
