Focaccia is an Italian flat bread that’s often served
pizza-style with savory toppings. This focaccia with sage and onion makes a nice light lunch
on its own or as an accompaniment for soup or salad.
Ingredients
Dough:
1 Tbsp (10g) active dry yeast
1/2 cup (120mL) warm water
1 Tbsp (15mL) olive oil
2 tsp (10mL) honey or brown rice syrup
1/2 tsp (3g) salt
1 1/2 cups (180g) unbleached flour
Topping:
1 Tbsp (15mL) olive oil
2 Tbsp (6g) minced fresh sage
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 5
minutes. Add oil, honey or brown rice syrup, and salt. Stir in enough flour to make a stiff
dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover dough and let rise in a warm
place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down dough with your
fist. On a floured surface, roll out dough to fit a baking sheet or pizza pan. Press dough
into pan and make indentations with your fingers. Cover and let rise 10 minutes.
Mix oil, sage and onion and spread on top of dough. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
