Focaccia Croque Monsieur Bread
I like soft focaccia, so I always add skim milk powder to the dough. I thought that if I added cheese too it would be even more delicious and tried it out.
If you like rich food, use 2 slices of cheese per piece. You can also try adding lots of bechamel sauce. But make sure you can seal the doug. If the sauce is too runny, it's hard to seal the dough, so it should be stiff enough that it doesn't run out. Recipe by Pu-kosan

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the bechamel sauce, and let it cool.
- 2
Put all the bread dough ingredients into a bread machine and start the "dough" program. Put the yeast in the specified location. Leave the bread machine do all the work until the first rising is complete.
- 3
When the dough is done, take it out, deflate and divide into 4 pieces. Round off each piece, and cover with a tightly wrung moistened kitchen towel. Leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- 4
Roll the dough out into a square, spread the middle with bechame sauce, and top with a slice each of ham and cheese folded in half. Bring the opposing corners of the dough together as shown.
- 5
Bring all 4 corners of the dough together, and pinch to seal the seams.
- 6
Place the 4 pieces of dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Setting your oven to the bread-rising setting, leave the dough to rise at 35 °C for 35-40 minutes (2nd rising).
- 7
When the dough has risen, start preheating the oven to 210 °C. While waiting, brush the tops of the bread with olive oil and make several indentations in them using your fingers or the thick end of a chopstick.
- 8
Brush a little more olive oil on the dough so that some of it pools in the indentations. Sprinkle with Krazy Salt and parsley to finish.
- 9
Lower the oven temperature to 200°C and bake for 15 minutes. Adjust the temperature and baking time depending on your oven. If it looks like the bread is browning too fast, cover with a sheet of foil.
- 10
I recommend eating these piping hot fresh out of the oven. I added skim milk powder to the dough to make it more tender, but they're also good cold.
- 11
You can warm these up in a toaster oven after they've turned cold to revive the soft, fluffy texture.
- 12
I used this instant bechamel sauce mix that you can make by just adding milk.
- 13
The dough gets flattened when you make the indentations, so I give this a shorter 2nd rising than for usual bread.

Overnight Focaccia Bread Pizza Overnight Focaccia Bread Pizza
This is based off of Serious Eats No-Knead Focaccia Bread. Letting the dough age overnight allows for gluten to form overtime as opposed to through mechanical manipulation. Add homemade sauce, slices of fresh mozzarella, and toppongs of your choice and tou have a great pizza. Another must for this recipe is the use of a 12 inch cast iron pan. Cast iron will distribute the heat more evenly. Added bonus: the olive oil and high heat of the bake will give your pan a fresh new season!

Tomato and basil focaccia bread Tomato and basil focaccia bread
#breadsThis crispy on the outside and soft and chewy from inside Focaccia bread is one of the easiest breads you can easily bake at home. This dimpled Italian bread is so flavourful that you can't have enough of it. I love to eat it with piping hot tomato soup and it tastes great as a snack with a cup of coffee as well. My husband calls it a pizza without cheese...haha !! With the freedom to choose whatever toppings you like makes it more versatile. Loaded with herbs, olive oil and fresh veggies makes it a great choice for breakfast, dinner or any meal.I have made Focaccia with so many toppings but cherry tomatoes are my all time favorite. Firstly they give a nice colour and look to the bread, somehow making it more tempting and secondly I love how it tastes after baking. I know Focaccia calls for a generous amount of olive oil added to the dough and the topping as well, but the end results are awesome. Olive oil infused with garlic and herbs takes the bread to an another level. Although I have used dried herbs in my recipe but you can use fresh herbs depending on the availability. I have used fresh basil leaves in the recipe and let me tell you it smells and tastes amazing and it goes well with the cherry tomatoes.
