Grilled Foccacia Recipe

Focaccia Dough Preparation

1. 1

   Activate the Yeast

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

2. 2

   Mix the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.

3. 3

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   First Rise

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

5. 5

   Shape the Dough

   Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch it into a rectangular shape, about 1 inch thick.

6. 6

   Second Rise

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

7. 7

   Create Dents

   Preheat the grill to medium heat. Use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface of the dough. Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with fresh rosemary and coarse sea salt.

8. 8

   Grill the Focaccia

   Carefully transfer the focaccia to the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
