A soft homemade focaccia with three topping options: balsamic onion, tomato and basil, and three-cheese rosemary.
Ingredients
- 400 g strong white bread flour
- 100 g fine ground semolina flour or strong white bread flour
- 1 sachet dried yeast
- 1/2 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 300 ml lukewarm water
- 1/2 tbsp sea salt
- olive oil
- extra virgin olive oil
- 2 red onions
- few sprigs fresh thyme
- 6 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 bunch fresh basil
- 1 large handful ripe cherry tomatoes
- white wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves
- 30 g Taleggio cheese
- 1 small log goat's cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Method
- Place the flours and sea salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
- Mix the yeast and sugar into the lukewarm water and leave for a few minutes until foamy.
- Slowly pour the yeast mixture into the flour while mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, soft and springy.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, dust with flour and cover with a clean tea towel.
- Leave in a warm place for about 30 minutes until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220 C.
- For the onion topping, finely slice the onions and cook them with thyme in olive oil over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes and leave to cool.
- For the tomato topping, halve the tomatoes and mix them with chopped basil, sliced garlic, olive oil and a small splash of white wine vinegar.
- Knock back the risen dough and spread it over a baking tray.
- Press your fingers into the dough to create plenty of dips and wells.
- Spread the onion topping over one third and the tomato mixture over another third.
- Break the Taleggio and goat's cheese over the final third.
- Add grated Parmesan, rosemary leaves and black pepper to the cheese section.
- Drizzle the focaccia with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Leave the focaccia to prove for another 20 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden on top and soft in the centre.
