Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

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

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

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

  4. 4

    First Rise

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

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Mushrooms and Leeks

    While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean and slice the mixed mushrooms. Slice the leeks and rinse them thoroughly to remove any grit.

  2. 6

    Roast Toppings

    On a baking sheet, toss the prepared mushrooms and leeks with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Shape Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press it out to fit the sheet.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Distribute the roasted mushrooms and leeks evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with fresh oregano leaves and grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

  3. 9

    Second Rise

    Cover the assembled focaccia with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

  4. 10

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Drizzle the focaccia with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

  5. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and slice into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
