Onion and Thyme Focaccia

The aroma that whiffs out of the oven when the Onion and Thyme Focaccia bakes is just too fabulous, its effect on your taste buds is impossible to describe completely with words.




In short, it makes you drool! The spongy softness and the mind-blowing flavour of this Focaccia bread lives up to the standards that the aroma sets in your mind.


Indeed, onion and thyme are such wonderful ingredients that they make even a simple roti seem exotic, so imagine what wonderful value they would add to freshly-baked bread.


Serve the Onion and Thyme Focaccia hot and fresh with a cup of one of your favourite Soups to transform a dull winter’s evening into a memorable day.

  7. Apply the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil evenly over it, cover it with a wet muslin cloth and keep aside in a warm place for 15 minutes.
  8. Put holes on the dough using your 3 fingers at regular intervals, and spread the prepared onion and thyme topping evenly over it and keep aside in a warm place for 15 minutes.
  9. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown in colour.

Onion and Thyme Focaccia.. This bread is so tempting while it was getting baked.. the flavour of onion and thyme is just too good.. the onions have caramalized.. giving it a sweet taste to the bread.. This is a must try recipe..
