Potato Focaccia (with Calorie Count)

Potato Focaccia (with Calorie Count)
This is an innovative Focaccia! Instead of traditional toppings like olives and cherry tomatoes, we use scallions, garlic, and cilantro. We’ve also reduced the oil content in the dough by brushing only a thin layer of butter on top. The dough: made without butter and includes mashed potatoes mixed with black pepper for a perfect combination—it's delicious even on its own! TOPPING: A 20G butter brush is sufficient; if you’re watching your weight, you can reduce it to 10G. Top it with Chinese scallions, garlic, cilantro, and sprinkle on some Western herbs for a delightful fusion of flavors! The aroma that fills the kitchen when it’s baking in the evening is incredibly tempting; even as someone trying to lose weight, I ended up having two pieces and wanted more—but I managed to hold back. Why not give it a try, my fellow food lovers!

Materials

water 80G
high-gluten flour 220G
salt 2G
yeast 5G
sugar 5G
black pepper 2G
butter 20G (can be reduced to 10G)
salt 1.5G

How To Make

  1. For the dough: combine all ingredients and knead until you have a smooth dough. No need to knead until a windowpane formation; let it rest for 15 minutes. Roll out the dough into a square and place it into a baking tray (I used a 28x28 cm gold tray), pressing with your fingers to make holes. Use a fork to prick small holes for fermentation.

  2. Once the dough has risen, the forked marks will have softened; use the fork again to make small holes (do not press down with your hands).

  4. For the toppings: melt butter with salt in a microwave until liquid and mix well; brush evenly over the dough (20G of butter is sufficient for a thick layer; reduce if you're calorie-conscious). Place cilantro leaves evenly on the dough, followed by scallions and minced garlic, and finally sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, pizza herb mix, parsley, and basil. (If you don’t have these, sesame seeds or pepper salt can be used.)
