BREAKFAST FOCACCIA RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. On ungreased cookie sheet, shape dough into ring; pinch ends together to seal. Press or roll dough to form 8-inch round, pinching and sealing dough in center. Press out any air bubbles. Press or roll until even thickness. Sprinkle top of dough with pecans; press into dough.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
• Meanwhile, spoon preserves into small microwavable bowl. Microwave on High 20 to 30 seconds to soften.
• Spread preserves over warm focaccia. To serve, cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Prepare the dough for basic focaccia, setting it to rise as in Step 4, above.
• While the dough is rising, heat the two tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until very lightly browned. Set aside.
• Once the focaccia dough has risen and has been placed in the pan ready to bake, as in Step 6 above, spread it with the sauteed onions. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until browned on the bottom and lightly browned on top.
• Remove from the oven and cover with slices of smoked salmon. Stir the sour cream to thin it and using a spoon, drizzle it over the smoked salmon. Cut into squares and serve.
