| Focaccia Pugliese or Potato Focaccia Pugliese |
Focaccia is appreciated at home so I decided to “Fire my Oven this April” make another
one. This time I choose Focaccia Pugliese or rather Potato Focaccia Pugliese.
This did not look appetising and so I was worried if
the girls will eat it. Needless to say I worry unnecessarily.

Focaccia Pugliese or Potato Focaccia Pugliese
Recipe Source: My Diverse Kitchen
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 ¾ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoon honey
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus extra for brushing and drizzling
- 4 medium sized potatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
- 2 teaspoon dried rosemary (use fresh if you have it and half the amount)

Method:
- Peel and slice the potatoes. I used the slicer and sliced the potatoes.
- Par-boil them in a little salted water as we will be using salt
later. - Drain and pat the potato slices dry. Keep aside.
- Dissolve the yeast and honey in about ½ cup of warm water and allow
to proof (about 5 to 10 minutes). - Put the flours, ⅓rd teaspoon salt,
1 teaspoon rosemary (if using dried herbs only) and oil in the bowl and mix well. - Add the yeast mixture and knead,
adding just enough water to obtain a smooth and elastic dough. It should not be
sticky. - Make a ball out of the dough and Place it in a well oiled bowl and roll the
dough in the bowl to coat it with oil. - Cover with a cling film and allow to rise till double (about half an
hour). - Oil a rectangular tin (I used an 11" by 7" tin).
- Gently deflate the dough and knead a couple of times.
- Using your fingers press the
dough out to cover the tin in uniform thickness. - Continue using your fingers and dimple
the top of the dough. Brush the top of the focaccia dough with oil. - Sprinkle the rosemary (fresh or
remaining 1 teaspoon dried) and then arrange the potato slices to cover the surface
of the dough. - Sprinkle salt (if using) and freshly crushed black pepper.
- Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise for about an hour. Bake the focaccia
at 220°C for 30 minutes till the potato starts browning and the focaccia is a
nice brown colour and sounds hollow when tapped. - Serve warm as it is, or as a snack/ appetizer or maybe with soup or as
part of a meal.
