Ingredients

This recipe was actually for one morning when I wanted to bake something fresh for breakfast, but it was a bit empty in the cupboard. Therefore, it was a mixture of both sifted spelt flour, whole spelt flour, oats, hazelnuts, honey and milk that just went out of date. The result was a wonderfully good Breakfast focaccia! This is very easy to make and the result is an airy and tasty focaccia.

Step 3

Heat milk with creme fraiche and olive oil to about 37 degrees. Take in the fresh yeast and stir well until the yeast is mixed.

Step 4

Use a food processor and mix together the dry and wet ingredients until you get a sticky thick mixture. Take over plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes until it has doubled in size.

Now the breakfast focaccia is ready to serve. I like best to cut into squares that I divide in half and fill with good toppings or eggs. A delicious and healthy start to the day. Although I call it a breakfast focaccia, it is of course just as suitable for lunch. Good luck.
