Herbed Foccacia Bread



In large mixer bowl:

Dissolve 2 Tbsp. Yeast in 3 cups + 2 Tbsp. Warm water

When bubbly add:
3 1/2 – 4 cups Prairie Gold flour
1 Tbsp. Sugar
2 tsp. Salt
1 /2 cup olive oil
2 cups unbleached flour

Mix on low speed. Knead with dough hook for about 10 minutes. Adding 1/2 Tbsp. minced garlic, 2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning, 1 Tbsp. Spicy Spaghetti Seasoning and more flour as needed. Dough should be slightly sticky. Cover and let rise until double.

Roll out about 1” thick, cut in sandwich size pieces. Cover and allow to rise to double on greased or lined baking sheets.



Bread ready to rise.

Before baking brush tops with Olive oil. Bake bread at 375° for about 20 minutes. (Should be golden brown. Over-baking will dry out the bread.)



Immediately upon removal from oven brush tops again with olive oil and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.



We like chicken grilled with tomato, lettuce, and a slice of mozzarella on our foccacia.
