I love, LOVE, LOVEthis recipe!!! I often take it to church potlucks and there is (sadly) never any leftovers! I always get tons of compliments and people seem to love it! I am making a version of it for Kaden's 2nd birthday party this Sunday...I think it will be a big hit...and perfect for a warm day.
Ingredients:
5 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
2 pkgs (or 2T) yeast
2 t salt
2 1/4 cup water
1/2 cup molasses
1 T butter or margarine
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 T dried minced onion
1 T sesame seeds
1 t garlic salt
The bread is 3 pts per serving if cut into 24 servings.
Sandwhich filling
6 T light mayonaise
2 T prepared mustard
6-8 lettuce leaves
1/2 lb thin sliced turkey
1/2 lb thin sliced ham
8 slices lowfat cheese
4 slices red onion, separated into rings
1 medium green pepper, sliced thin
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
24 large olives, sliced
For dough, place all dry ingredients in mixing bowl. In small saucepan, heat water, butter and molasses to 120 degrees. Mix with dry ingredients until JUST moistened. (Dough will be somewhat sticky!)Grease top, place in mixing bowl, cover, and let raise until doubled. Press dough onto greased 14 inch pizza pan*. Cover and let raise again until doubled. Brush with egg whites; sprinkle with onion, sesame seed and garlic salt. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes and golden brown. Remove to wire rack to cool.
*Sometimes I make this recipe and want smaller amounts so I will do 2 round loaves or 2 oblong loaves, like sub sandwhiches, and freeze one for another time. Then I use half of the filling ingredients as well.
Split focaccia bread in half horizontally; spread mayonaise and mustard on separate sides. On bottom half press olives into condiment, then layer lettuce, ham, turkey, cheese, onion, green pepper, and tomatoes. Replace top half. Chill until serving. Cut into wedges or diamonds. Serves 24
Each serving = 5pts
