Instructions

In a bowl take wheat flour, salt, yeast,cumin seeds, carom seeds,oregano, sugar, rosemary,oil and mix it well.
Next add lukewarm milk and water mixture slowly to the flour mixture to make dough.
In the begininning the dough will be very sticky. Knead the dough for 15-20 minutes minimum so that a soft dough is formed. Do not add extra flour. You can use little oil while kneading.
Once the dough is ready, place it in a well greased bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise double in size. This is first proofing which takes 1.5-2 hrs.
Meanwhile we can prepare the stuffing. Heat a pan, add oil, add veggies, red chilli powder, salt etc in the heated oil and saute lightly.
Once the dough rises double in size, gently punch the dough and knead it again for 5 minutes.
Take a well greased and parchment paper lined tin.
Make 2 parts of the dough. Take one part of dough and spread it in the tin.
Now add the veggie stuffing that we prepared. Spread grated mozzarella cheese.
Take second part of dough and roll it and cover the stuffing by placing it on top. Seal the edges..
Now make indentations overall on the dough with your finger tips.
Add the stuffing on top and sprinkle oregano and rosemary.
Brush it lightly with olive oil and set aside to rest for 30-40 minutes for second proofing.
After second proofing... preheat your oven for 10 minutes at 200....
Bake the focaccia at same temperature for 35-45 minutes.
Once done, take out the tin and let it sit for 2 minutes. Flip the tin and cut the focaccia in desired shapes.
Your focaccia is ready to be relished with any of your favourite dips.
