Focaccia Bread Flavoured with Rosemary,Onions and Olives

I love making bread,specially breads which have lots of flavour like this one…This bread has a lovely fruity olive oil flavour in it..
I love to use olive oil a lot more nowadays because I feel that it is lot more healthy and has a lovely flavour in it..I have recently addicted to EVOO(extra virgin olive oil)…Yes I started saying like this after watching rachael ray shows…
And Guys have you ever watched rachael’s shows…I love her shows so much because she cook so energetic and enthusiastic..We can see a passion in her cooking and also she gives lots of tips in between cooking…If you have never watched her show before,you should do it now…
Now back to our focaccia…I flavoured it with onions,olives and rosemary because I love the sweetness of onions when it has been baked and also I found that rosemary and onions go very well together…So I throwed some in..

Other suggested toppings are sundried tomatoes,basil,shredded chedder cheese,parsley and many more…
One of the weird topping is……Vegetarians turn aside…This is only for meat eater….If you want to be little bit naughty just throw some bacon bits in it…YUM YUM Right…
I know that everyone is going to try out this bread…Bu how do you serve it…I have couple of recipes for serving this bread..Two interesting recipes…..I will post it in my coming posts…So wait for it…
Now are you ready to bake bread..
Ingrediants:
For Base:
Flour-3 cups
Salt-1 tsp
Sugar-1 tblspn
Yeast-1 tblspn
Warm water as needed
Olive oil-1 tblspn
For Topping:
Olives-1 tblspn chopped
Onion- 2 tblspn sliced
Cilantro/Coriander leaves-1 tblspn chopped
Rosemary-1 tsp
Olive oil-5 tblspn
Method:
Take the yeast and sugar and add this to the warm water..Mix well and let it sit for 5 mins..
Take flour and salt in the mixing bowl and pour this yeast water over this..Form a smooth and soft dough out of this..Apply oil over this and set aside for a moment..
Oil a tray or baking tin…Put this dough in that and press it till it spread out evenly..
Cover it with a damp cloth and set aside for 1 – 1 ½ hours or until the dough has rised..
Preheat the oven to 220°C(450°F)..
With your fingers make some impressions on the dough(see picture)..
Pour olive oil in that impressions…Top it with onions,olives,rosemary,cilantro…
Put this in the oven and bake it for 20 mins..
Remove it and cut into slices..
You could make sandwiches,garlic bread or have it as it is..
Pictorial:
Take all your ingrediants…
Mix yeat and sugar with warm water…Pour it over the flour and make it into a soft dough…
Tip this dough on a well oiled tray or tin..
Press it so that it is evenly spread out…
Let this rise till it gets double in size
using your fingers make some impressions on this…make sure you don’t get too excited
Pour some olive oil in this…
mean while get ready with all other ingrediants
throw them in…
now comes my favorite part…
sprinkle them in too and bake it…
This just came out of the oven…Smells divine…
Wow i love the smell of this….
Ready to be sliced…Enjoy…

    Hi Aarthi,
    Made this bread yesterday with half the portions. Came out wonderful. I used sliced onions, garlic, jalapeño and oregano as seasoning. Thanks for the precise recipe.
