Awayofmind 65°C Tangzhong Focaccia

Ingredients

65C Tangzhong

50g bread flour

250ml water

Ingredients:

200g bread flour

4g instant dry yeast

10g caster sugar

3g salt

20g milk powder

124g water (I added ~60g, substituted most of the water with tangzhong)

100g tangzhong

15g fresh rosemary, finely chopped

20g olive oil

deco:

olive oil

cheese powder

Directions

Tangzhong: Add flour to water in a pot, keep stirring it while cook until it reached 65°C. or ripples appeared on batter. Set aside to cool.

1. Add tangzhong and all ingredients except the liquid and olive oil in a bowl, gradually add water and knead well. Add olive oil and knead to form smooth elastic dough.

2. Spray water on dough and place in a container. Cover and let it proof for 60 mins.

3. Punch down the dough, and roll into a ball. Let it rest for 10 mins.

4. Flatten the dough into a round shape (I used 6" cake pan)

5. Place the dough into grease pan. Let it proof for another 30~45 mins. or the dough will double in size.

6. Coat one finger with olive oil and poke into the dough to make as many dimpled as possible. This is to ensure the bread is flat after baked.

7. Brush some olive oil on the dough surface. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in the pre-heat oven at 200C for 25 mins.
