Title: Skillet Focaccia from Pizza Dough
Post by: Smokin Don on July 29, 2016, 07:12:27 PM

July 29 2016

My pizza crusts did not come out the way I wanted and I had half the recipe left. The one half made two 10 inch crusts.

I had a recipe printed out for cast iron skillet focaccia bread so used the dough and skipped to the baking part. I took it from the fridge and let warm about a half hour. It then went in the skillet coated with olive oil then in the oven I had heated to 170 deg. and shut off. It was in for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile I melted 4 Tb. Butter and added a teaspoon of garlic herb salt and 2 large teaspoons of ground parmesan. When the 20 minute rise was over I removed it from the oven and turned it to 400 deg. I poked some holes in it with a wooden spoon handle and brushed half the butter over the top.

When the oven reached 400 deg. the bread went in for 20 minutes, I let it go another 3 minutes then removed to cool. I brushed some more of the butter over the top.

I wasn’t sure the pizza dough would make good bread but it had olive oil in it like focaccia recipes. We had it with our supper and it had nice texture with holes and a good taste.

I woulda made my version of a muffalata out of that bad boy. Slice your bread in half crossways. Add a layer of olive mix, I use this:(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160731/b19782d8fe68570d12f761a881cb964d.jpg)
Then a layer of sliced Swiss cheese, ham or Canadian bacon, hard salami, pepperoni, sliced mozzarella, all three meats again and another layer of olive mix. Top with other half of bread. Wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate under weight for a half day or so to compress. I use a CA skillet with a gallon of milk in it. Put the wrapped creation in a 400F oven for at least a half hour or until heated all the way through. Slice and serve with mustard (my preference) or pizza sauce for dipping. I have made this with various types of round bread but focaccia is my favorite. I got the method from someone on the Bradley forum and modified it to taste, the original called for mortadella but Mrs TF isn't a fan so we go with the meats listed.
