Easy Italian Focaccia 8

My friend was coming over for drinks and I wanted an easy snack. I love focaccia but I didn’t have a lot of time. So I made this no knead version that cooks up quickly.

The main recipe comes from www.breadworld.com. It is a great site for bread recipes and information on baking bread. I jazzed the recipe up for my tastes. The recipe is at the end of the post.

I started by mixing the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. I added the water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mixed it with a wooden spoon.

While the focaccia was rising, I measured out the Italian seasonings and the Parmesan cheese. I cut up the spicy sausage into fine cubes.

I uncovered the dough and made sure it had puffed up double.

I greased the handle of the spoon and pushed it down into the dough and lifted it. You are not trying to make holes but you are trying to rough up the surface so there are indentations for the oil to pool in.

I sprinkled the oil over the focaccia followed by the spices, the sausage and the cheese.

I put it in the oven and cooked until golden and the internal temperature was 195 F. Take it out and let it cool for 10 minutes and take it out of the pan.
