Lighthouse Dessert Recipes

Fig, Proscuitto & Goats Cheese Focaccia

500g Pizza & Focaccia bread mix sachet

300ml lukewarm water

6g yeast sachet (included in bread mix or use one of our Lighthouse Yeast + Bread Improver Sachets)

1 tbsp olive oil

3 ripe figs

100g goats cheese

100g proscuitto

Place bread mix and yeast in a large bowl. Add lukewarm water and mix with a fork to form a dough, mix further with hands to bring dough together.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface, knead for 8-10 minutes (applying extra flour to prevent the dough sticking) until dough is soft and elastic.
Shape dough into a ball and place into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean damp cloth then leave in a warm place until dough doubles in size (approx. 30 - 45mins*)
Preheat oven to 220˙C (200˙C fan forced).
Punch down dough and transfer to a lined baking tray (30cm x 20cm x 3 cm). Shape the dough so that it covers the whole tray.
Use the tips of your fingers to dimple the entire top of the focaccia then drizzle olive oil over the top carefully, allowing the oil to roll into the indentations. Re-cover and leave in a warm place to rise again (approx. 20 minutes*)
Garnish by brushing with olive oil then sprinkle with salt, rosemary and your desired toppings.
Place dough into the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and place slices of figs, crumbled goats cheese and strips of proscuitto on top. Bake for another 5 minutes.
Remove loaf, then place onto a wire rack and allow to cool before slicing.
Serve with rocket.
