Dough

Method

Making the Dough

1

Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

2

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3

Knead the Dough

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

4

Let the Dough Rise

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

Assembling and Baking

5

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

6

Prepare the Focaccini

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball slightly and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7

Add Toppings

Sprinkle each focaccini with fresh rosemary, sea salt, and place halved cherry tomatoes on top. Drizzle with olive oil.

8

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

9

Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.
