Pernille's mum's bread turned into Foccacia
We went to a Swedish Crayfish birthday party - and it was one irresistible amazing feast which turned into dancing way into the early hours of Sunday! Thank you for a lovely party Sara and one more happy birthday!
For the table we contributed with homemade bread. We turned Pernille's mum's bread into Foccacio by adding 100g of coarse Durum flour and big slugs of olive oil. After it had raised the last 30 min on the plate we poked holes in it and poored more good olive oil overy it and added twigs of herbs rubbed in oil from the garden - there's only one thing to say:
D–O I–T!

PERNILLE'S MUM'S BREAD

| Pernille's mum's bread with 100g semolina + oil and quite a bit of sea salt on top – makes for a crusty great experience |

| Pernille's mum's bread with 100g of oats (ad a bit extra water for the oats) – Extravagantly poured into a bread shape for a fancy touch |
JUST DO IT.
3/4 of a fresh yeast pack (if you are so unlucky to live in a country where fresh yeast is hard to get a hold of 14g of dried yeast can be used, ad a pinch of sugar to get it going then)
4 dl tepid water
2 tsp of salt
500g flour (as mentioned, can be exchanged with 400g of normal flour and 100g of oats, semolina, rye or... Use a strong white flour it is really worth it as the bread gets alot better than crappy normal white flour)
–
Mix water and yeast in a big bowl till the yeast has dissolved, ad flour and salt and mix with a hand mixer (or if you are the lucky owner of a mixer you can do it in there). As with any bread making the success is in the effort of actually holding the hand mixer for ten minutes so the dough gets a bit bouncy - There's some molecular explanation to this, we don't know exactly why... Don't worry that the dough is quite wet, this is the whole point of this bread. It's Easy: Mix in bowl. Leave. Pour onto baking tray. Leave. Bake. Done.
Now leave the dough to rest under cloth for 1 hour. Then poor it onto a baking tray with baking paper on it (or if it is fancy you can pour it into a bread shape but that just creates more washing up). Now leave it to rest for another 1/2 hour on the baking tray. Sprinkle with oats or flour or oil or nothing, then bake for 1/2 hour in the bottom of the oven at 225ยบ. (if you don't put oil on top it is recommended to sprinkle with water half way through baking as this makes the crust crunchy). Let it cool a bit and then EAT.
