This recipe offers a delightful homemade focaccia bread with three unique topping options to suit any taste.
Add the warm water, olive oil, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast to the bread machine in the order specified by your machine's manual.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and let it run.
Check the dough after a few minutes to ensure it forms a smooth ball; add water or flour if needed.
Once the cycle is complete, transfer the dough to a seasoned baking stone or pizza pan.
Dust the surface with flour to prevent sticking.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Preheating ensures even baking.
Press or roll the dough out to the edges of the pan and let it rise in a warm spot for 10-30 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
Prepare the herby topping by heating olive oil in a small saucepan, adding the herbs and garlic, and letting it sizzle for 30 seconds.
Do not overheat the garlic to avoid bitterness.
Prepare the onion topping by sautéing onions in melted butter until golden, then mixing in mayonnaise.
Stir constantly to prevent the onions from burning.
Prepare the olive topping by mixing olive oil with sliced black and green olives.
Use high-quality olives for the best flavor.
Make indentations on the dough surface with your fingertips and spread the chosen topping evenly.
Press gently to avoid deflating the dough.
Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Rotate the pan halfway through for even baking.
Let the focaccia cool slightly before cutting or tearing into portions.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
