Focaccia

I recently discovered I could make passable focaccia from the bread mix.

1 Sachet plain bread mix
1 tsp italian herbs
salt & pepper
water
sea salt flakes

mix the bread sachet, herbs and seasoning (but not the sea salt) together. Add the water whilst mixing - until you get a wet dough. Beat this (with a spatula or something, going side to side) and it will get more doughy - kind of glutenous like when you kneed bread.

Plop onto a silicone mat on a baking tray (it should land in a flatish ball) sprinkle the sea salt on top and bake in a preheated oven for 12 - 14 mins at 190 - 200 (I use 190 with the oven on fan).

Take out and leave to cool slightly before cutting.

Be careful with the Italian herb mix - some ready made ones have sugar and flour in them! Check the ingredients. You can experiment by adding garlic powder, a little sweetener or other herbs.

Have fun with it!
