Tomato Cheese Focaccia

May 23, 2014

So what do you say about having three co-hosts? Yep! The calm (Selma @ Selma’s Table) and the (bouncy and) hyper co-host is back. 😀 And we are thrilled to co-host FF17 with the lovely Alex @ Dinner Daydreams who is always dreaming about what to make for dinner… Hmm, better to think of dinner than other stressful things, Right, Alex? 😀

And well, you know Selma – the ever welcoming, friendly and calm person. I really had an amazing time co-hosting with her during FF15. I still love her even if she reported me to Angie that I had been on a sugar rush and I can’t stay calm. They had to give me cups and cups of Chamomile tea. It helped, but not for long. It’s good that they did not lock up the dessert bar, or else I’ll be in misery. 😐

I heard rumors that ‘dessert police’ are on their way to investigate. When that comes, Selma and Alex would be here; I will come back, definitely! Besides, this is Fiesta Friday All Night Long!

It is really nice to gather every Friday for FF after a long week. Thanks to the amazing Angie for this fun and the exciting party she has created. I don’t frequently bake or cook the past weeks due to the busy schedule and I have not made a long list of what to bake for the month. So when I post a food recipe or anything food related, I better do it on Friday to share and chat with everyone. Besides, Fridays are better than other days – Friday means weekend (or almost weekend for some). And Friday means… FOOD TRIP. (e-food trip, actually!) Nonetheless, we still talk about food.

Some of you have already made submissions to FFC#1 and what can I say? They are all gorgeous.

I still have to visit everyone before the deadline comes and read your story. If you would just be patient with me today, I will be sharing you my story:

Battle with the Yeast Beast

Using yeast has been my nightmare since I started baking. I thought yeast bread is just so easy to make – let the yeast activate, rise and bake. Well, maybe for others, but not for me.

The first time I used yeast was back in July 2013 when I and my friend made these Homemade Donuts. I’ve got help my friend, so my yeast activated. I loved the donuts and I thought that was the beginning of my good relationship with the yeast. I was wrong…

I got the yeast activated for the first time when I baked Ensaymada, which is a Filipino bread. I was so happy with the result. The bread was the way it should be the first day and the second day. But when the third day comes, the bread became dense and heavy. Were they dense and heavy before? I didn’t notice.

Yeast and I saw each other once again when I tried baking dinner rolls. Sounds pretty delicious, right? While I was in the process of baking, I imagined my dinner rolls to be soft, light and buttery. Going back on that day, I think I did the right thing. But when I put melted butter on the top of the dough that has risen and ready to be put in the oven, the dough sank. Just imagine a balloon deflated – that’s what happened. I still baked them, anyway. The dinner rolls were dense and heavy. I under kneaded the dough and I have not let the dough rise with the correct time – those were the mistakes I have seen. The good thing is the dinner rolls were still edible and when I microwaved them the next day, they were soft, but a little chewy. Below is one of the photos I’ve taken, thinking I could post it one day.

thenotsocreativecook-DinnerRolls

I realized that I did not know the basics in baking, so I decided to ask Google’s help. After searching on how many minutes to knead, I tried my luck again. This time, I decided to make white sandwich bread. So I kneaded the bread around 8-10 minutes and followed every instruction. The sandwich bread came dense and heavy (again!). Thankfully, it’s still edible – just had to microwave the bread to become a little softer. To finish the bread quickly, I did make a Panini sandwich. (I wanted to share the photos, but I think I have already removed them from my external hard disk.)

Then, I split up with the yeast. We did not see each other for months. I am planning not to see it for a longer time until Fiesta Friday Challenge came. Thank you to our mastermind and judges for the FFC#1 – Catherine @ Catherine Cuisine and of course, Angie. The challenge is to use both yeast and herb in one recipe. When Angie posted about the challenge, I told her that I’d love to join even though I had a fight with the yeast beast so many times. I was shocked (yes!) when I saw my name on the list of participants and I was like ‘Okaaaay! I better meet up with the yeast beast one more time!’… and I did.

thenotsocreativecook-Tomato&CheeseFocaccia1

Last week, I was busy thinking of what to bake that use yeast and herb together. I listened to Google’s suggestion, but Focaccia bread got my heart. Well, aside from the fact that I don’t think I have eaten one, it seemed a little different from the bread that I’ve baked before. Although I know that this is just a friendly challenge, I was a bit intimidated with all the beautiful submissions. Regardless of that, I still wanted to try my luck. So I did bake over the weekend. After making the bread, that’s that time I searched what is Focaccia. I felt proud when I found out that Focaccia is Italian bread. I was like ‘Wow! I made Italian bread!’. And according to my search, Fougasse (Angie’s submission) is a French version of Focaccia. 😀

In this bread, I used dried herbs. Italian seasoning to be exact.

Tomato Cheese Focaccia

Ingredients

  • 250 ml warm water
  • 2 tsp active dry
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, Italian seasoning, sugar and salt. Mix well. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until yeast is activated.
  2. Add half of the flour and mix well. Add the remaining flour until dough is formed.
  3. On a slightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball.
  4. In a clean bowl, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and spread to the insides of the bowl.
  5. Place the ball-shaped dough and coat with olive oil.
  6. Cover the bowl with a cling wrap or lint-free towel.
  7. Keep in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size.
  8. When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down. Shape into a ball again and return to the bowl, cover and let rest for another 10-15 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  10. Roll out/stretch the dough into a 13 x 9 greased baking pan. Cover the baking pan and let rise again for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  11. Using your finger, make several indents in the dough.
  12. Brush with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
  13. Top with tomato slices and mozzarella.
  14. Bake for 18-24 minutes or until melted has melted and golden brown.
  15. Remove from the oven and let rest before cutting.

See source recipe here.

Okay! Let’s proceed with the results.

Good things first:

  • The bread smelled really amazing! At first, I was hesitant to use Italian seasoning as I found the smell overpowering. But how would I know how it really tastes like if I don’t try it? And my goodness, the house smelled really amazing!
  • It’s delicious.
  • The bread was soft except the bottom part.
  • The bread was light, not heavy and dense like the first bread I’ve baked.

…and for the not so good part –

  • The bottom of the bread was hard and chewy.

thenotsocreativecook-Tomato&CheeseFocaccia2

May I call on the attention the mastermind/judges/host (the Yeast Queen – Angie) & co-host of this challenge to help me with the following problems I have encountered since the day I started baking bread?

  • When I brush the top of the dinner rolls with melted butter, they sank. Considering that I brushed them gently, what might be the problem?
  • Most of the bread I baked were dense and heavy.
  • The bottom part of the bread turns so brown if I try to bake it a little longer to get a good color of the top of the bread.
  • I don’t like too much smell of yeast on my bread, what could I do?
  • If I would half the recipe – let’s say I’d like to bake 6 dinner rolls instead of 12, should I half everything including the time?
  • I am using an oven that needs oven thermometer (so that means it’s not digital) so when I reach the required temperature (e.g. 350 F) and put the pan inside the oven, there are times that the temperature goes down (e.g. 325 F) so I bake it a little longer. Do you think it’s one of the problems why I always get dense and heavy bread?
  • I always blame the kneading part. How to knead properly? Is it correct that kneading is just stretching out the dough GENTLY for a good 8-10 minutes?

Now, the table is open for discussion. 😀

ENJOY FF17!

    re foccacia bread. the reason why your bread was densed is because you (maybe) added too much flour. the trick is just adding a few drops of water to make it sticky and let it bloom properly. i just read that from king arthur flour website. i hope it helps. will try some of your recipes and share it with you. thanks

    hi, im sorry coz my last statement was wrong-
    what i meant was that in the Recipe Source the final (3rd) resting in the baking sheet was
    for 30-40 mins but you did not do it instead you baked it right after the second rest-
    my question is -is the third rest period necessary ? pl advice -thnks

      Oopppss!! You got me on that! I did let it rest for 45min (it is shown in the photo). I am not sure why I missed that in the instructions – sorry! Yes, it is necessary. Will update my recipe. I apologize for the confusion.

      hi,
      you missed the sugar measure too!! haha!!
      anyway i tried the bread and it was a super hit!- Thanku
      btw, i sprinkled some olives on the top too.
      downside: It took me a good 25mins for it to come together- is
      it because i need to add the water a little at a time? pl reply.
      thnks once again will surely try it again!.

        What?? Ugh! That’s one of the problems when you don’t copy paste the source recipe – you missed something. But, you can just copy paste, right? Anyway, I don’t have any excuses for the mistakes, but I am glad I mentioned the source which I really should, right again? Haha! As for the kneading time, it took me a while as well that’s why I didn’t write the time. On other doughs, it took me 30-40 minutes – so so tiring!

        The idea of olives sounds amazing – I should do that next time. I’ll be making this soon as well as I have been craving for savory bread and this fits well. Thanks again for your comment.😘

          all said and done it is a good bread to try out over and over again! not confident about mixing the olives in the dough so i put it on top!!
          about the kneading time– should the water be added gradually or should the flour be added gradually?
          Am sure there must be a trick to this!!:)

    After reading Catherine’s comment I would probably agree. Even though I’ve only baked with yeast once before. I’ve read that you can mist the top of the dough just before putting it in the oven and that will help with gaining a nice crust. A suitable small bowl of water in the bottom of the oven also helps. I have yet to try both of those ideas. Here’s a link for kneading dough which I found really useful: How to knead bread dough

    Oh my gosh, Jhuls, thank you for opening up the table for discussion on this on your post. Not only is your Yeast Beast journey informative, so too are the questions and answers here. I think I am also not adding enough water to the dough, and maybe adding too much flour to the kneading process. I thought I was under-kneading, but it may have been that I was just not getting that “tacky” consistency right. I must try my piroshkis ago using this knowledge. Your focaccia looks delicious, btw, even if the bottom was tough. I would probably just saw off the bottom and eat the rest! 🙂

      I’ve been wanting to open a discussion regarding yeast, Ngan! It’s just that I cannot find the right people to ask. Thank you to Angie & Catherine – because of their brilliant idea I finally found you, my dear friends, to help me on the long-time queries of mine. I bet that adding too much flour is one of the reasons why I’ve been having a problem with bread. I also read somewhere that when kneading, it is better to add water (by wetting the palms) instead of flour. 🙂

    Hello Jhuls! From my experience with bread making, a dense bread is often caused by not adding enough water to the dough (often the recipe is the problem and not your fault!)… I always follow Peter Reinhard’s advise: a bread dough should be tacky but not sticky… Meaning that when you touch it, it should not be sticky to the point of staying on your finger but should feel like touching the glue from a “Post-It”… I often try recipes with not enough water. When, after kneading, your dough look and feel like a firm, “bouncy” perfectly smooth ball, it probably lacks some water. A moister dough will produce bigger air bubble (because it is more elastic and relaxed).

    By the way, This looks like a delicious focaccia 🙂

      Thank you so much for your comment, Catherine! I really appreciate it. I think I also add too much flour while kneading (by hand). I will remember this the next time I make bread. Have a wonderful day to you! <3

    I grew up with focaccia in Italy, I’m a focaccia addicted… my favourite one is with tomatoes, so thanks a lot for sharing this! I read that you didn’t like the smell of the yeast, next time try to let your dough rest for more time. I’m sure you won’t smell it anymore! I really happy you brought an Italian recipe to FF challenge! Have a great week!

    I often reduce the amount the yeast used and if allowed enough time to rise, it usually works out just fine. I prefer fresh yeast over dried as it gives a softer texture…but that is just my opinion. I wouldn’t mind having a piece of your focaccia! Looks delicious!

    Hello my bubbly co-host! How I wish we were neighbours then we could present a united front against that yeast beast!!. Angie is right, there are lots of reasons for a heavy end result but I think that the most common one is adding too much flour when you are kneading because you feel the dough is too sticky. Just keep going without any extra flour and you will be surprised how it will come together and get soft and elastic. When I knead, I keep my left hand on the bottom of the dough and then pull and stretch at the top with my right hand, fold it over, give it a quarter turn and carry on. It’s all about developing the gluten strands. And letting it rest too. Your focaccia looks fabulous – I can smell those Italian flavours from here!! xx

    Hello Jhuls, if the smell of yeast is too much for you, sounds like you could reduce the amount of yeast you use for the bread. I´ve learned oder time that most recipes recommend too much yeast, and the bread will be fine with much less. Kneading is , to me, the most important thing, aside from the time you give your dough to prove (whereas is does´t matter if it´s a warm or cold environment, the yeast I use – fresh or instant – will prove even in the fridge). 10-20 g fresh yeast per 500 g flour will mostly work out fine…

    Ah yeast…I have a love-hate relationship with it, myself. When the recipes work and turn out well, we are absolutely in love with each other. When they fail, we’re like two cats in a bag.

    I know what it’s like when your dough deflates on you after the second rise. It makes me feel like a deflated balloon- just so disappointed (and angry).

    This looks like it turned out rather well though, so great job Jhuls. Wonderful addition to Fiesta Friday 🙂

      I feel proud to have made this bread after how many attempts to make a good one. Still, I am not 100% satisfied. But what matters most is I tried again. 🙂

    Dense & heavy bread can be the result of many things, under-kneading, over-kneading, ingredient ratios off, dough hasn’t risen completely prior to baking, oven temperature too low, etc. Try to take notes next time what happens, so you can figure out what goes wrong. Really, practice makes perfect holds true for bread-making.

    You should call on Gerard@Bread and Tortillas. His entry is next to yours. He’s an expert in bread-making. He’ll deny it, but he is.

      Hi, Angie! I was catching up with FF and FFC entries, as well as my pending comments for almost 6 hours. Haha! It’s fun and Selma wanted me to go to bed! 😀

      That’s why I love Pooh – Pooh seems always happy. I guess me, too! 🙂

      And about your answers, I guess I wouldn’t know now what went wrong to my breads. I am not sure if I under kneaded the dough or over kneaded it. I think I better take down notes next time and bug you again! 😀 Thank you, Angie! <3

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear from you... :)
