Chorizo and Thyme bread

A simple Focaccia bread altered a little to use up Chorizo I had in the fridge. You can use any cured sausage you wish!

1 tblsp Sugar
Chorizo (a handful of chopped) (Or any cured meat- the amount is up to you)
4 Sprig Fresh Thyme (ripped)
750 g Strong flour
half tsp Cracked Black pepper
1 small onion, sliced
50 ml Extra-virgin Olive Oil
250 ml Warm water
1 tsp Sea Salt
Method:
Preheat oven to 175′
Place warm water in bowl- Must be body temperature- If the water is too hot/too cold the yeast will not work. Add yeast and sugar then leave to activate for approx 5-10 minutes
Sieve flour and salt into a bowl and add 2 tbsp oil to mix. Add yeast and knead for about 15 minutes.
Rub kneaded dough in oil and pop in a bowl and cover with cling film and a damp tea towel, and leave in a warm place until doubled in size- approx 1 and half hours.
After this time, knock back dough with a good punch and roll out into a long flat shape.
Using your finger, poke a few holes in dough and stick in thyme and chopped chorizo.
Place in a greased tin and top with raw onion slices, salt and pepper, and drizzle with leftover oil.
Bake for approx 20-30 minutes, until nicely coloured, then serve.
