Another No-Kneed. . .'Everything' Focaccia

  • 2c unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ¾c Bob's Red Mill corn flour
  • ¼c ground chia and flax seed
  • 1T roasted garlic and herbs
  • 1t instant yeast
  • 1t salt
  • 1T organic honey
  • 3T extra virgin olive oil
  • 10oz. warm water

Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined. In a 2c glass measuring jar, combine about a cup of fresh, cold, filtered water with the honey. Microwave it until it's very warm. Stir well to dissolve the honey. Add the oil and enough additional water to bring the total to 12oz. Stir and warm again until it's about 107° or noticeably warmer than body temperature, when you test it with a clean finger. Stir this into the bowl of dry ingredients, with a heavy wooden spoon and mix it well. Cover with plastic wrap or a clear plate so you can watch it rise and bubble. Leave it in a 70° area, away from drafts, for 15-18 hours.


Next Day:

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle it with flour, or in this case Everything Bagel Seasoning. Transfer the dough, drizzle, then rub the top with EVOO and shake on more bagel seasoning. Put it in a warm place another hour, just to give it a little more height, then bake in a 425° preheated oven, under a foil tent for 30 minutes. Uncover then turn it 180° then continue baking at 425° another 12-15 minutes to crisp and brown up the top. . .Lin
