Focaccia Bread Recipe Bread Maker

Using the dough cycle on your bread maker allows you to make this delicious bread! All you have to do is shape and bake!

While I love the ease of putting all the ingredients in the bread machine and having a warm loaf of bread when it beeps, like with my Bread Machine Sourdough Sandwich Bread, I also love using the dough cycle!

Bread

The dough cycle is just what it sounds like. You place all the ingredients in the bread maker and it makes the dough for you. It actually kneads the dough and does the first rise.

Today I am back with another favorite dough cycle recipe - focaccia bread! This is go to bread to serve with dinner. It's light and fluffy on the inside and has the most perfect crust!

Place all you ingredients in the bread machine according to your bread machine's instructions. In my case, wet ingredients go in first, then dry.

So, I put the water and onions in the pan (kind of swirled the onions around so that they weren't all clumped together.).

To keep the salt and yeast separate, I made two small wells in the flour and placed the yeast in one and the salt in the other.

Place the bread pan in the bread maker and set the cycle to dough - in my case it's one hour and 50 minutes.

Rub some olive oil on your hands and use your fingers to push down on the dough and stretch it out until it's about an inch thick.

Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 40 minutes. I just left mine sitting on the counter, if you're house is really cold, you might want to find a warm-ish spot for it.

After 20 minutes, begin to preheat the oven to 425 and make sure a rack is in the lowest part of the oven.

Using your fingers, dimple the dough. Drizzle the olive oil over the dough, letting it fill in the dimples. If you are using rosemary, sprinkle it on now.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. When the bread comes out, sprinkle with the sea salt while it's still warm.

You are going to love this bread! It comes out so tender and so full of flavor. The onions practically dissolve, making the bread moist, but you don't even see them.

If you make bread often you know it can come out different every time. This time it had a more even crumb, sometimes it has big open pockets.

Focaccia (using Bread Machine For The Dough) Recipe

It is a very moist bread and if you are not going to be able to eat it all in a few days, I recommending freezing half, so that it doesn't get moldy.

Since this bread is so moist, it can get moldy a little quicker than usual. I usually freeze half of the bread and if I think we won't be eating even half of it within a couple of days, I store it in the fridge.
