Method

Focaccia Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix the ingredients until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    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.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the dough is rising, chop the zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

  2. 6

    Season Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

Focaccia Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 8

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared baking pan. Gently stretch and press it into the pan.

  3. 9

    Add Vegetables

    Evenly distribute the seasoned vegetables over the surface of the dough, pressing them lightly into the dough.

  4. 10

    Final Rise

    Cover the pan with a cloth and let it rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.

  5. 11

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
