<異國風情篇之意大利香草弗卡夏面包> Simple Focaccia bread with herbs




終於到了夏天, 英國天氣反覆無常, 這年的夏天比之前都遲來了! 每一天對著沒陽光的天色, 人都變得沒生氣! 今天天氣非常好, 陽天猛猛的曬著後花園, 一陣陣清風吹向你的臉, 心情都特別輕鬆!  剛剛新鮮焗了意大利麝香草弗卡夏面包, 軟軟的包加上淡淡的橄欖油跟香草的味, 又是一個理想的下午茶. 這個做法是非常簡單快捷, 無需任何酵母! 配料其實非常簡單隨意, 因為沒有某幾種配料, 所以我只用了麝香草! 但橄欖, 乾番茄等都是很好的配搭!!

Finally we have bright sunshine in UK which happens rarely! Indeed this year the summer comes quite late compare to previous years! Good weather, good tea-time can certainly boost up our mood! Today I would like to share this very simple Focaccia bread recipe! This time I purely used thymes~ it also tastes very yummy with olives, sun-dried tomato or a bit of cheese on top!

材料:
  • 300~400 克  自發粉
  • 1/2 茶匙       海鹽 
  • 隨意         新鮮香草(例如迷迭香, 麝香草等)
  • 隨意          黑橄欖 (切片)
  • 隨意          意大利乾番茄
  • 1~2 湯匙   純橄欖油
  • 200ml      暖水
Ingredients:

  • 300~400 g   self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp   sea salt
  • (optional amount) Fresh herbs (e.g. rosemary, thymes)
  • (optional amount) Black olives, sliced
  • (optional amount) Sun-dried tomato, sliced
  • 1~2 tbsp  Extra virgin olive oil 
  • 200 ml   warm water ( NOT boiling hot)

做法:
  • 預熱焗爐200度, 容器均匀塗上橄欖油
  • 將自發粉跟海鹽攪至平均後,加入1湯匙的橄欖油和暖水, 慢慢揉10 分鐘, 至軟軟不稔手的面團(注意: 如果太乾, 可加多水; 太濕, 可加多面粉)
  • 成團後, 放上預備好的容器上, 加1湯匙的橄欖油, 要塗在面團的每一個部分! 你會覺得面團變得很滑手, 之後慢慢推開壓平平的, 用指頭插成一個個洞(不用穿)
  • 將配料如香草, 乾番茄, 橄欖等分散地放上包面, 慢慢壓實配料, 也可加少許海鹽在表面
  • 中格, 焗25~30分鐘, 金黃色就行了~

How?!
  • Preheat your oven 175 degree, have your baking tin ready, grease it with olive oil
  • Mix flour and sea salt evenly, then add 1 tbsp olive oil and water, knead it about 10 mins until it turns to be a soft dough without sticking to your hands. (p.s. add water if dough is dry; or add more flour if it is too wet)
  • After it has become a soft dough, place is on the baking tin, add another 1 tbsp olive oil and evenly brush around the dough. 
  • Use your finger to slightly push and shape it like a flatten disc 
  • Sprinkles your olives, sun-dried tomato and fresh herbs on top of the bread
  • Bake for 25~30 mins until the surface turns golden brown

Enjoy your great summer!
