Method
- If using a breadmaker make the dough using the longest dough setting you have, then follow the recipe from step 7
- For the Panasonic SD 253 breadmaker, use the French dough setting, for the Panasonic SD-ZB2502 automatic breadmaker, use menu option 21, French dough.
- Using a small bowl, add 250 ml of the (tepid / warm) water to a bowl and sprinkle the yeast over it. Leave in a warm place for 5 minutes to dissolve.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sifted flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeasted liquid.
- Mix with your hands, adding as much of the remaining warm water as needed to make a sort pliable dough.
- Tip the dough out onto a floured worktop and knead with your hands for 10 minutes so it becomes silky and elastic.
- Clean the large bowl, lightly oil it (an oil spray is good for this), add the dough, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for 2 hours.
- Knock down and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a rectangle (35 cm x 20 cm (14" x 8")
- Cover with a cloth and leave to rest for a further 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cheese, basil, garlic and a little of the rosemary over the dough then, starting from one of the shorter side, roll up like a Swiss roll.
- Place on an oiled baking sheet and punch holes in the surface. This is where the mozzarella cheese will erupt from while it bakes.
- Drizzle with half of the olive oil the sprinkle with chopped rosemary leaves, salt and pepper.
- Bake for 1 hour.
Serving suggestions
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and serve warm.
Chef's note
If using a pizza stone follow the preheating directions and allow to heat in the oven and slide the focaccia onto the stone from a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or similar.
