Focaccia Ingredients
Method
Focaccia Directions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Mix until you form a dough.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Shape the Focaccia
Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pan. Press it out gently into a rectangle or circle about 1/2 inch thick.

Add Toppings
Drizzle the remaining olive oil and red wine vinegar over the dough. Use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface. Sprinkle Grana Padano cheese, rosemary (if using), and coarse sea salt on top.
