Strawberry Surprise Focaccia Recipe

Strawberry Surprise Focaccia Recipe

We have been busy in the kitchen these last few weeks keeping busy and trying out new recipes, re-vamping older ones. We partnered with California Strawberries and have re-invented our original focaccia recipe to a Strawberry Feta Focaccia Recipe. It’s perfect timing since California Strawberries are in peak season and readily available right now (and when local strawberries are in off-season).

Before we even get to the recipe did you know that 8 California strawberries have the same amount of Vitamin C as an orange? Well, now ya know!!

Now it’s time for the recipe:


Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups of flour

1 cup of warm water

2 ¼ teaspoon of yeast

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of olive oil (for dough)

1 ½ cups of chopped California strawberries

½ cup of crumbled feta

2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon of sea salt

½ cup of olive oil (for pan)


Directions:

  • In a mixing bowl drop water, yeast, salt, and oil. Let sit for 10 minutes

  • Add hook attachment to your mixer and add your flour to mixing bowl that has yeast, water, salt and oil. Put on slow for 1 minute, then move up one speed. Let mix until forms a ball. If you see it is too watery add a bit more flour and it turns into a ball around the hook.

  • Oil a bowl

  • Place your dough into bowl and cover. Place in a dark place for 2 hours.

  • Heat Oven to 400 F

  • Pour olive oil into cast iron pan. Place your dough in the pan. Let the pan sit on top of the stove while the stove gets to 400 F.

  • Place pan with dough in the oven for 10 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle with strawberries. Press strawberries into the dough with a fork, then sprinkle feta on top.

  • Place back in the oven for another 20 minutes at 400F.

  • Once 10 minutes is up, switch to broil for 1 minute.

  • Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
