Mushroom Focaccia
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 ½ cups high grade flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
Topping
- 1tbs Salted butter
- 400g mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Place warm water and sugar in the bowl of a mixer and stir to dissolve. Add yeast and stir again, leave for 10 minutes covered with a tea towel.
- Add flour, salt and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Turn the mixer to low with the dough hook attached. Mix for 5 minutes until smooth and a little sticky. (Knead with your hands if you do not have a mixer.)
- Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 mins.
- Grease a large baking tray well with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Place the dough in the centre of the tray and push out to the edges with your hands. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over the dough mix making sure it is all covered.
- Using your fingers, poke dimples in the top of the dough. Set aside to rise for a further 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan bake.
- While the dough rises, place a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté for 5 minutes then add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Add the diced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the frying pan from the heat.
- Once the dough has risen, scatter over the sea salt. Layer the mushrooms. Finally sprinkle over the parsley.
