Focaccia with Potato, Garlic, Thyme, and Olive Oil

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil, garlic, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the water and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Transfer the dough to a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and press it out to the edges. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using your fingers, make dimples in the dough. Then place the cooked potatoes on top of the focaccia and sprinkle with garlic and thyme mixture.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  8. Let the focaccia cool for 5-10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm.
