Title: Focaccia very wet
Post by: lauzzie on June 03, 2012, 01:53:05 am

Yesterday i made the Foccacia from the EDC and the dough was very wet and sticky.

Is this dough supposed to be like that.   I followed the recipe exactly!!!!

I found the dough extremely hard to work with and felt like adding more flour but wanted to do it by the book the first time.

It tasted lovely when it was cooked but I didn't really enjoy working with such a sticky mess.

Is this supposed to be a sticky dough?????   

Thanks in advance  :)

Lauzzie,  Foccacia ic not something that I bake and I am not  fond of the Bread recipes in the EDC book.  I suggest you look at the Forum for recipes and reviews.

Have you seen this Potato Foccacia (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1640.0) from JulieO lauzzie?

Here's (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10039.0) a chat regarding that foccacia recipe in the EDC.

Thanks Judydawn.... that thread was very interesting.     I will definitely make it again but next time I think I will prove it in a bowl instead of wrapping it in my thermomat as it was very difficult to get off and just ran everywhere.

Now I know that other people say it was quite wet and sticky at least I know I didnt do anything wrong.

Thanks so much.  :)

I make this one alot, but changed the recipe, as yes it is too wet.

Try 300g warm water and 500g bakers flour. All other ingred the same.

I only let mine rise once and then press it out onto a lined baking tray with my fingers, top with rosemary/garlic/feta/sundried toms/olives/salt/whatever tickles my fancy at the time...drizzle with a little olive oil and into the oven.

Yum!

Yes it is a wet dough I let it prove in a bowl and then again after pressing out on a tray. Try oiling your hands next time.

Thanks for that....   I have just made it again with less water and it is so much easier to work with and feels so much nicer.    I cant wait to taste this one as I had alot more fun making it as it wasnt running all over the place.

I love it when it is wet and sloppy, makes such a light fluffy focaccia. I just oil my hands and have fun with it  :D :D
