Foccacia

This is the recipe for foccacia that my mom use, and i enjoy it quite a lot, so i will share the recipe here. It's a very simple and quick recipe, and it yields quite a lot. We have to use the biggest bowl in the house so it wont run over when rising, and in oven its baked in a 30x40 cm cake shape.We freeze the leftovers though =D

You can add the stuff you like in it, personally i like to have olives and sun dried tomatoes inside the foccacia, and salt on top xD

Ingredients:
1 kg flour, it taste best with white, but i normally add some whole grain flour for extra nutrition
20 g salt
1 50g package fresh yeast (or 1 package dry)
1 liter body temperature water

Suggested fillings; olives, sun dried tomatoes etc
Suggested topping; olive oil, coarse salt, rosemary etc

Mix the ingredients together in a big bowl along with the filling (it's simpler adding it here than later).
Cover the bowl with plastic and let the dough raise for about 30 minutes, then put the dough in the cake shape, add the topping and put in oven on 250°C for about 25 minutes.
After it's done, remove the foccacia from the cake shape, and transfer it to a cooling rack.

Enjoy =p
