chocolate focaccia

I needed a sweet on Sunday.  I was already making pizza so I took half the dough to make focaccia.  We were out of fruit so I decided to go with the chocolate in the freezer.  It was a bit rich but lovely.  It tasted a lot like a chocolate croissant or brioche with out the rich dough and all the sugar.  Actually, it reminds me of my chocolate toast, the one with good bread, grated chocolate, olive oil, and salt,  but fanicer.  

chocolate foccacia

1/2 recipe foccacia dough

1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet or dark chocolate

2 tablespoons olive oil

A good sprinkle of sea salt or something fancier, I used Himalayan pink salt

Mix up the foccacia dough and let rise until you would normally put in the fruit.  Instead of fruit, sprinkle with half the chocolate chips you are going to use.  The more chips, the richer this tastes.  Close it all up and put the rest of the chocolate chips on top.

Let rise until puffy, about two hours.  Turn oven on to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.  Drizzle with olive oil and salt.  Put in the oven and bake for 35 to 40  minutes or until golden.  

Let cool enough not to burn your mouth and sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Enjoy.
