Saturday lunch in my house today was Focaccia, although it turned out to much more like a pizza….lol…..I couldn’t decide on my toppings so just put it all in. Was absolutely delicious. (although note to self…….less toppings next time!)

I decided to try it using my crisper tray and it didn’t fail me, results were amazing in just 15 mins.

400g White bread flour

300ml warm milk

1 sachet 7g yeast

salt

1 tsp of dried Italian herbs (or you can use a mix of garlic, oregano, thyme, basil and black pepper)

1 tbsp olive oil

Toppings of your choice………I used Mixed Piccolo tomatoes (halved), sliced roasted peppers, sauteed red onion, black olives, fresh basil leaves.

Salt & pepper to season

1. Mix the yeast with the warm milk and leave for about 10 mins until it starts to froth.
2. Mix the Flour, salt & herbs in a large mixing bowl
3. Pour the milk into the flour and mix well. Knead dough for about 10 mins by hand or using a mixer for a few minutes until blended together into a dough.   
4. Let dough rise for about 1 hour. Use rising setting on Hotpoint oven.       
5. Preheat crisper plate for 2 minutes on Dynamic Crisp setting.
6. Once dough has risen, place directly onto crisper plate and spread it out evenly to cover crisper plate.                                                                                                  
7. Place your toppings into the dough evenly and drizzle with a little oil
   

   
8. Cook on dynamic crisp setting for 15 mins. (Or oven at 220deg for 20 mins)
