Simple Potato And Rosemary Focaccia - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup strong white bread flour, sifted
1 (1/4 ounce) packet easyblend yeast
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
200 ml warm water
1 medium potatoes or 1 large potato, scrubbed and sliced thinly
4 teaspoons fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
salt and pepper

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, yeast, salt and 1 tbsp of olive oil, and mix in enough water to form a soft dough (you may not need all the water).
Knead lightly, cover with plastic wrap, and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Lightly oil a large baking tray.
Place the dough in the middle, and work it out to the edges to form a square or rectangle.
Top the dough with the uncooked potato slices and the rosemary, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the remaining oil.
Bake for 50 minutes, covering if the focaccia is getting too brown.
