Focaccia Dough

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Focaccia

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and spread it into a greased baking sheet. Let it rise again for 20 minutes. Dimple the surface with your fingers and drizzle with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Add the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make Beurre Nantais

    Remove from heat and whisk in the butter gradually until emulsified. Stir in chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Bake the Focaccia

    Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Once baked, let it cool slightly.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the focaccia and top with the sautéed mushrooms. Drizzle with beurre nantais before serving.
