Buffalo Chicken Focaccia Bread Tasty and Simple Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
• 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
• 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Pat it out into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Using your fingers, create dimples all over the surface.
7. Scatter the buffalo chicken over the surface of the focaccia; sprinkle mozzarella and blue cheese (if using) on top. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
8. Cover again with a kitchen towel and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes. During this time, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
9. Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven, allow it to cool for about 5 minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley before slicing.
