ABOUT Fougasse RECIPE

Fougasse is a French bread which ressembles quite like a puffy flatbread. Usually this bread is associated to Provence region of France eventhough this bread is very famous with many variations in other regions. We get fougasse from supermarkets topped with onions,bacon and grated cheese, since i dont eat bacons i bake fougasse at home with my favourite toppings or else simply with grated emmental cheese.

Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. 2 tsp Active dry yeast
  2. 1 tsp Sugar
  3. 1 cup Luke warm water
  4. 3+1/2 cups All purpose flour
  5. 1 tbsp Salt
  6. 3 tbsp Olive oil
  7. 1 cup Grated cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and allow to stand for about 5 minutes. Add the flour,olive oil and salt to the proofed yeast and stir until a soft dough forms.
  2. Turn dough out into a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. This should take about 8-10minutes.
  3. Form the dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl. Cover and allow the dough to rise until doubled in size.
  4. Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, the dough has risen enough. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet over a baking tray.
  5. Divide the dough as 4-5 equal balls, roll it as a oval shaped disc. With a knife, give few deep slits on the rolled disc, so that they looks like a leaf, continue the same process with the remaining dough.
  6. Transfer it to the lined baked tray and let them rise for about 20 minutes in a warm place. Brush the top of the unbaked fougasse with olive oil.
  7. Sprinkle enough grated cheese over it and bake for 30-35minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Enjoy with your favourite spread or soup.
