Focaccia with macadamia nuts and crispy bacon

Focaccia is an excellent sharing bread. And it’s really easy to make!


Ingredients

For 1 focaccia
  • 500 g Mix for focaccia
  • 400 ml water (room temperature)
  • 20 ml olive oil
For the topping
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon macadamia nuts
  • 7 cardamom pods
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 50 g bacon (preferably one thick slice)
  • 3 sprigs of sage
  • 2 sprigs of rosemary
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Make the focaccia

STEP 1

Combine the Mix, water and oil. Knead 6 minutes with a kitchen robot or 10 minutes with a hand mixer into a runny dough.

STEP 2

Cover the bowl with cling film. Let rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.

STEP 3
