fiesta focaccia

March 30th, 2009

You possibly will not believe you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes fiesta focaccia but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat fiesta focaccia or other high calorie breads every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have only been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I feel like one day a week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Fiesta Focaccia

2 loaves frozen bread dough, thawed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 large tomatoes, diced and drained or
    1 cup canned tomatoes, drained
1/2 yellow or green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 to 1 cup ripe olives, pitted and drained
2 tablespoons chopped canned jalape?os or
    green chiles (optional)

Let dough completely thaw (to thaw in microwave, cook at 30 power for 3 to 4 minutes, based on a 900 watt microwave). Combine both loaves of dough together. Grease a 17 x 11-inch baking sheet. Roll out thawed dough on a lightly floured surface to a 17 x 11-inch rectangle. If dough shrinks back after rolling, let rest 5 minutes, then continue rolling. Place dough in pan, pressing dough to corners. Brush dough with olive oil, evenly top with spices, sprinkle with tomato, bell peppers, onion, olives and chiles. Let dough rise until puffy (30 minutes in a warm area).

Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and pan to cool on a wire rack.

You can change the recipe to make it a little healthier or with less calories as this can aid you to lose 5 kilos easily. It worked for me and could help you to lose weight too.
