Disney Recipe ~ Frocaccie (Foccacia) Bread ~ Grand Floridian

Originally served at Flager's at Disney's Grand Floridian, this is an adaptable all purpose bread. The book calls it Frocaccie..do they mean Foccacia? However it's spelled, it's tasty. You could easily change out herbs depending on what your garden has produced.

This recipe makes 2 French loaf sized breads or 5 small loaves.

Ingredients
3/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg
4 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand 5 minutes. Mix milk, olive oil, egg and yeast mixture and blend for 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and mix until dough pulls away from sides of bowl (about 3 minutes). Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead for 5 minutes. Return to bowl and lightly rub with olive oil. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).

 

 

Knock down and knead again. Divide dough into 5 small or 2 large loaves. Let rise until double in bulk.





Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes or until nicely browned and hollow to the touch.
Serve warm and don't skimp on the butter.
