Ingredients

FOR THE DOUGH
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon oil (light olive oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil or melted butter)
FOR THE FILLING
  • ½ cup Nutella (or favourite hazelnut cream)
  • 3½ ounces chocolate (dark, milk or white or combination) chopped
EXTRAS
  • 1 tablespoon butter (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered / icing sugar (more or less)

Instructions

FOR THE DOUGH
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the middle and add the vanilla, water and oil. Mix together with a fork until combined. 
  2. Move dough to a flat surface and knead a few times to form a smooth dough ball. Cover (with bowl or clean towel) and let rest 15 minutes.
  3. Cut the dough in half and form 2x 8 inch (20 cm) circles, one circle spread with the Nutella and sprinkle with the chopped chocolate (or chips). Wet the border with a little water and then place the 2nd circle on top and seal with a fork or wooden fork.
  4. Heat half the butter in a 9-10 inch (23-25 cm) frying pan,  place the focaccia in the pan, cover and cook for 7-10 minutes* on low- medium low heat. Remove the focaccia to a clean plate, melt the remain butter and then gently add the uncooked side of the focaccia, again cover and cook for 7-10 minutes. Move to a plate, cool to warm, dust with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy!
*Check halfway through to make sure it isn't burning. Turn down heat if cooking too quickly.

Notes

  • This Fast and Easy Focaccia takes about 30 minutes to make, the dough comes together in about 10 minutes (there is a small resting time), then it is then baked in a covered skillet for approximately 5-8 minutes on either side.
  • Any leftovers should be stored well wrapped and placed in a airtight bag, and kept at room temperature. It should keep for 1-2 days at the most. 
  • It can also be frozen in a freezer bag or container, it will keep for up to a month. Thaw the focaccia in the fridge overnight and reheat it to warm in a pre-heated oven. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  • I like to stuff mine with a layer of Hazelnut Cream and grated milk chocolate, you could also use just chocolate, either dark, milk or white chocolate. Just be sure to use a good quality chocolate. Chocolate chips would work too.
  • Or even fill with a combination of chopped nuts and chocolate.
  • How about a layer of your favourite jam?
  • Finely chopped apples tossed with cinnamon, brown sugar and a little melted butter sounds pretty good too.
