To Make The Focaccia

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees
  • In a small bowl, add active dry yeast (fast acting), sugar and warm water.
  • Mix with a plastic spoon and set it aside for 15 minutes until starts bubbling
  • While waiting for the yeast, sieve the flour in a bowl
  • Add salt and half of the dried spices. Mix well
  • Make a well in the flour and add the yeast water a little at a time
  • Mix the dough completely and then knead it for 10 minutes, until smooth.
  • The dough should be a little sticky. Rub oil around the dough ball and place it in glass or ceramic bowl
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside
  • As the dough rises, punch it down. I punched it down about 2 times in a span of an hour
  • After both punch times, knead the dough again and form a ball and cover again
  • In a separate bowl, add the remaining oil and spices. Mix well
  • Lightly oil a baking tray and place the dough
  • Using your finger tips, stretch the dough into the shape of the tray
  • Baste the top of the dough with the oil mixture
  • Place the baking tray in the oven
  • After you put the tray in the oven, prepare the strawberries
  • In a bowl, add strawberries and pure maple syrup, set aside
  • After the focaccia has been in the oven for 25 minutes, baste the focaccia one more time
  • Line the top of the bread with strawberries
  • Bake for about 20 more minutes or until the focaccia passes the knife test
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool before serving

  1. I just love the idea of this bread from the use of strawberries down to making it in the slow cooker! What a great idea!

  2. This recipe makes me smile! Growing up, my dad always made fresh foccacia and it is something I have never made and would love to try. I love the addition of the strawberries. I am already planning my Easter brunch with this. It has been so great chatting with you this weekend and I love your blog.

  3. I have never made bread in the slow cooker before. I’m going to make this recipe the first time. I love this idea!!
