Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

For the Shakshouka Topping

  • 2 cups tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt. Stir in warm water and olive oil until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  2. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
  3. Prepare the Shakshouka Topping: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and bell peppers until they are soft. Add the tomatoes, spices, and cook until the mixture thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Assemble the Focaccia: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and stretch it onto a greased baking sheet. Spread the shakshouka mixture evenly over the dough, creating wells for the eggs.
  5. Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the wells you’ve created in the mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and drizzle a little olive oil on top.
  6. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and the eggs are set to your liking.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will enhance the flavor significantly.
  • Don’t Rush the Rising: Letting the dough rise properly ensures a light and airy focaccia.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to swap out spices and toppings based on your preferences.
  • Check for Doneness: Bake until the edges are golden brown for the best texture.
  • Let It Cool: Allow the focaccia to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape.
