Focaccia

So its quarantine days around the world and its become a little difficult to find things to cook while maintaining the spirit of all at home. The best way is to prepare something interesting with available ingredients. So here we go....

250 gms of flour
200 ml water- a tea cup approximate
1 tbsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/6 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/6 tsp chilly powder
2 cloves garlic,  grated
1 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive)
Mixed Italian herbs 1 tbsp - optional
Onion rings
Capsicum rings- optional

Heat the water till lukewarm. Add yeast and sugar. Leave it to rise - 10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl,  mix the flour, salt, pepper, chilly powder, garlic and half of spices.

Add the yeast to the dry ingredients and mix well. The consistency should be between a dough and a  batter. Slightly runny. Set aside overnight or for 12 hours.

Grease a baking tray with oil and sprinkle with 1 tbsp flour. Pour the leavened mix and let it stand for 1 to 2 hours to rise again. Decorate with onion and capsicum and sprinkle remaining herbs. Bake at 180C for  20 to 25 minutes. Once done brush the bread with butter. Serve hot as such or with tomato sauce and a hot cuppa.
