Impress your loved ones with this mouth-watering focaccia made with roasted red peppers and chickpeas, and say goodbye to store-bought bread for good. Floury focaccia, bursting with flavor from roasted peppers, chickpeas, and a hint of lemon—that’s what you get in this recipe. The chickpeas provide protein and fiber, and it tastes great too. So, it’s a better choice than regular bread.
Here are the steps:
To proof the yeast, mix together warm milk, sugar, yeast, and water in a big basin. Until the mixture starts to foam and bubble, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes, set it aside. Doing so awakens the yeast, which is essential for perfectly rising focaccia.
To make the dough, combine the yeast mixture with around 560g of flour, ⅔ cup of vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a crumbly dough is formed. Add the rest of the flour little by little until a soft dough forms and pulls away from bowl edges.
After dusting a surface with flour, transfer the dough and knead it for 10 minutes, or until it becomes elastic and smooth. An alternative would be to use a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer.
