Chargrills: Yeastless Focaccia

Chargrills: Yeastless Focaccia

Sick of buying bread? Wheat it and weep. 

Ingredients:

350g self raising flour 

250ml warm water

3 tbsp oil, preferably of the olive variety

Pinch of salt 

Any herbs or seeds you can find laying around - I used pumpkin seeds and some dried thyme. 

Need more oil, herbs and seeds for topping before cooking 

Method:

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.

Sieve the flour into a large bowl. Add the salt and herbs. Pour in the warm water and add oil. Mix with your hands to form a dough. You might need to add a touch more water or flour if necessary. Knead together for a few minutes -  you want one dough ball that's not sticky but not dry as fek either. 

Line a baking tray with paper or if you've got a dish like the one above line it with oil. Poke your fingers onto the top of the bread to make dimples because everyone loves dimples. Garnish with oil, herbs and seeds.

Cook for roughly 30 minutes but keep an eye on it.

Best eaten fresh with butter or could add garlic and butter to make garlic bread. Would pair nicely with Mi Goreng, any curry, any can of soup or as toast! She a little dense. Don't be sourdough. 

Enjoy horns.
