Description

Focaccia is an easy and delicious bread to make. It’s crispy on the outside, soft inside with a garlic and herb topping. Yummy.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 1 cup Plus 1 Tablespoon Lukewarm Water
  • ½ teaspoons Sugar
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Fast Rising Yeast
  • ¾ pounds, ¾ ounces, weight All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • 6 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Sea Salt

Preparation

For the dough:
1. Place first three ingredients in a container, mix well and let it stand for 10 minutes. Measure flour and salt into a medium size bowl, pour in the yeast water mixture and mix to form a soft dough. Add 1.5 tablespoons olive oil and knead the dough for about 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Spread 0.5 tablespoon olive oil on the surface of the dough, put it into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to let the dough rise.
2. When the dough has doubled in volume, spread 1 tablespoon olive oil on the bottom of a 22×33 cm baking dish. Place the dough inside the baking dish and press it out to cover the whole dish, using your hands. Dimple the bread a bunch of times using your thumb. Cover with plastic wrap and let it stand in a warm place for 30-45 minutes.
3. Preheat oven at 400 F/205 C. Sprinkle all of the topping ingredients on top of the bread and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil on top.
4. Put the bread in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is light golden brown. Take the bread out of the oven, set pan on a rack and allow bread to cool for 3-5 minutes then remove it to a rack and cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips:
Leftover bread can be warmed in a microwave for 15-25 seconds and then toasted before serving again.
