Focaccia Dough
Honey Butter
Method
Focaccia Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
Knead the Dough
Mix until the dough comes together. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
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.
Shape the Dough
Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch and flatten the dough to fit the sheet.
Second Rise
Cover the dough again with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven and Prepare Topping
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface of the dough. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and fresh rosemary if using.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Honey Butter Preparation
Mix Honey Butter
In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, and sea salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve
Transfer the honey butter to a serving dish and serve alongside the warm focaccia.
