Focaccia is a great snack for children, but also for older children! Especially, when made with healthy and wholesome ingredients such as Molini Spigadoro 7 Cereal Bread Flour, herbs and Maldon salt.
The special feature of this recipe is, without a doubt, the use of Maldon salt, originally from England: famous for its unique flaky shape, it stimulates the palate and taste by being extremely flavorful.
Let’s see, then, how to prepare this delicious and soft flatbread.
Ingredients for one flatbread
- 500 gr. of Molini Spigadoro 7-grain bread flour
- ½ sachet of dehydrated brewer’s yeast
- 1 teaspoon of sugar or honey
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 250 ml of room temperature water
- 10 g of fine salt
- Maldon salt flakes for the surface
- Herbs, oil and water to taste.
Preparation
Put the flour, yeast, sugar, and a little water in the bowl of the mixer and start kneading all the ingredients.
Gradually, add the water and finally the salt, until a dough forms that will be a bit sticky.
Detach the resulting dough from the hook of the planetary mixer and place it in a bowl dusted with a little flour.
Please note: it is not strictly necessary to use a planetary mixer for 7-grain focaccia, you can also knead by hand following the same procedure.
At this point, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 2 hours in the oven off, with the light on.
After the necessary time has elapsed, take back the dough and place it in the rectangular baking pan: sizes may vary; if you want to get a tall flatbread, choose a pan of about 30×40 cm.
Roll out the dough and use your fingers to form grooves all along the surface to encourage the second rise.
Let rise for 1 hour more, encompassing the flatbread with plastic wrap.
Meanwhile, take care of the seasoning: make a brine with extra virgin olive oil, herbs and a little water and mix well.
Once the flatbread is well risen in the baking dish, sprinkle it with the brine, finally add the Maldon salt flakes evenly as well.
Bake the flatbread for about 25 to 30 minutes at 200 degrees.
When golden brown and crisp, bake your 7-grain flatbread. Stuff as desired or enjoy it plain.
