Description

Sure it’s 90s, but so am I. Bring focaccia back!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups flour (I use Italian 00)
  • 7g dried yeast (one sachet)
  • 25ml olive oil
  • 1 pinch Each salt and sugar
  • 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 1 cup grated parmesan-style cheese ((I usually use South Cape brand))
  • 1 handful good olives, pitted and halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200C.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, oil, salt and sugar, and the water. Turn out onto a bench and knead until smooth.
  3. Press into a greased 20x30cm baking tray and cover. Leave somewhere warm to rise, about half an hour or so (longer is ok).
  4. Poke indentations across the top, spread parmesan-style cheese over and scatter the olives.
  5. Bake until cooked through, and cheese is bubbly and golden (25-30 minutes). Leave for 5-10 minutes in pan, then move to a wire rack to cool thoroughly.

      haha I actually hate it. I like “linguine” though.

        Linguine is all soft and pretty, focaccia is a good swear substitute!

          Yes I probably should explore alternative avenues now that little pitchers not only have big ears but repeat-mouth too 🙂

            I never had to with the older two they knew they were ‘mummy words’. But this one is on to me, I say fancy a lot. Like ‘if that fancy dog doesn’t stop barking right now.’
            I had to change when miss E on her third birthday told our guess to look at her f’ing bags… Oops!

              I sang very inappropriate Kanye West lyrics to both of them this morning, before I realised what I was saying. Bigs just asks ‘what is fuck, mummy?’ but I should probably tone it down haha
