Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and 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. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a rough 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 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

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Clean and slice the mixed mushrooms. Spread them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Prepare Leeks

    While mushrooms are roasting, clean the leeks by slicing them lengthwise and rinsing under cold water. Chop into thin half-moons. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the leeks for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Shape Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking pan (approximately 9x13 inches). Stretch and press the dough into the pan to fit. Let it rest for another 20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Evenly distribute the roasted mushrooms and sautéed leeks over the dough. Sprinkle fresh oregano and grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on top. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over everything.

  3. 9

    Final Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
