A flavorful Italian flat bread made with oats and molasses turns this sandwich into something special. I tuck ham, cheese and veggies inside, but you can substitute your favorite sandwich fillings. -Marina Gelling, Rowlett, Texas Ingredients:
5-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
2 teaspoons salt |
2-1/4 cups water |
1/2 cup molasses |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 tablespoon dried minced onion |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
sandwich filling: |
6 tablespoons mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons prepared mustard |
6 to 8 lettuce leaves |
12 to 16 thin slices fully cooked ham |
6 to 8 thin slices swiss or cheddar cheese |
4 slices red onion, separated into rings |
1 medium green pepper, sliced |
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the water, molasses and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
2. Press dough onto a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
3. Brush with egg. Sprinkle with the onion, sesame seeds and garlic salt. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
4. Split the focaccia in half horizontally; spread mayonnaise and mustard on cut sides. On bottom half, layer the lettuce, ham, cheese, onion, green pepper and tomatoes. Replace bread half. Chill until serving. Cut into wedges. Yield: 12 servings.
