Bread

Focaccia

Garlic Confit

Method

Sunflower Oven Boule

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

  3. 3

    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 doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Shape and Second Rise

    Punch down the dough, shape it into a boule, and let it rise for another 30 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake the boule for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Focaccia

  1. 6

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually stir in water and half of the olive oil until combined.

  2. 7

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

  3. 8

    Prepare for Baking

    After the first rise, oil a baking pan and stretch the dough into the pan. Dimple the surface with your fingers.

  4. 9

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top, sprinkle with rosemary, and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes.

  5. 10

    Bake

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

    Prep the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and place them in a small saucepan.

  2. 12

    Cook the Garlic

    Cover the garlic with olive oil and add thyme. Cook over low heat for about 40 minutes until soft and golden.

  3. 13

    Cool and Store
