Focacciu radim najmanje jednom u tjednu i toliko se ustalila u našoj kuhinji da je kruh postao prava rijetkost. Već sam nekoliko puta radila Brankinu focacciu i kruh i bili smo prezadovoljni sa obje varijante. Kruh sada nažalost nisam stigla napraviti, ali znam da me je ono more rupica skroz oduševilo, a kad si isplaniram da ću ga raditi, to bude obavezno nedjelja i računam da ne mrdam iz kuće, jer za njega treba izdvojiti vremena. Focaccia i kruh su tema ovomjesečne igre Kuvarijacije. Potrebno vam je slijedeće:
1kg brašna
700-800 ml vode
20 g svjezeg kvasca
sol
1žličica šećera
1 dcl maslinovog ulja
2-3 češnja češnjaka
700-800 ml vode
20 g svjezeg kvasca
sol
1žličica šećera
1 dcl maslinovog ulja
2-3 češnja češnjaka
Kvasac promiješati sa toplom vodom,šećerom i solju. Prosijati brašno i dodati mu vodu sa kvascem i zamijesiti tijesto. U medjuvremenu uliti maslinovo ulje u posudicu i dodati zgnječeni češnjak. Tijesto ostaviti da se digne dva puta u pokrivenoj posudi i onda ga razdijeliti na 2-3 dijela. Svaki dio posebno staviti u pleh koju smo prethodno namazali maslinovim uljem i prstima raširiti tijesto da bude tanko 1-2 cm. Politi ga česnjakovim uljem i pritiskati ga jagodicama prstiju praveći male rupice, tako da mirisno ulje uđe unutra. Pustiti jos 10-tak minuta da odstoji, staviti da se peče u zagrijanu pećnicu dvadesetak minuta ili dok dobije finu zlatnu boju. Kad je izvadite iz pećnice,staviti na rešetku, politi još malo maslinovim uljem i posuti malo grublje mljevenom solju.

Focaccia (origin recipe)
1 kg flour
700-800 ml water
20 g fresh yeast
salt
1 teaspoon sugar
100 ml olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves
In a small bowl, dissolve sugar, salt and yeast in warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with sifted flour. Stir in water, until all of the flour is absorbed. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Place the dough in the bowl and cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume. Meanwhile, mix garlic cloves and olive oil, and let it stand. After the dough has risen 2 times, divide the dough into 2-3 equal pieces, 1-2 cm thick. Place the focaccia doughs onto oiled baking pans. Pour the garlic mixture over the top of the dough. Using your fingers start to dimple the top. Let stand for 10 minutes more. Bake the focaccia for 20 minutes in preheated owen, or until browned on top. Remove from the pan, and cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with olive oil and salt.
