Focaccia

Method

Focaccia Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  3. 3

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press it down to fit the sheet.

  5. 5

    Add the Toppings

    Dimple the surface of the dough with your fingers, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and coarse sea salt.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
