Title: Easy Focaccia Bread
Categories: Breads
Yield: 1 Batch
2 1/2 c Flour (350 g)
1 ts Salt; plus more for
- sprinkling on top
1 tb Dried Italian seasoning
- (optional)
3 cl Garlic; up to 7, minced
- (optional)
1 tb Sugar
2 1/4 ts Active dry yeast
1 c Water; warm
1/4 c Extra virgin olive oil;
- +1/4 c, divided
Add yeast and sugar to warm water and set aside.
In the meantime, mix together flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and
garlic in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil.
When the yeast mixture starts to foam, add to flour mixture and stir
together using a spoon or chopstick (that's me!) until dough starts to
form. If it's too sticky to work with, add 1 tb flour at a time until
it becomes just tacky. If it's too dry, slowly add 1 ts of water at a
time until all the flour becomes part of the dough.
Knead the dough with your hands for about 5 to 7 minutes. You can
also use a stand mixer with a hook attachment and knead for about 5
minutes. Create a smooth ball of dough and place in a covered bowl in
a warm space (~78°F) for about 1 hour or until the dough ball
doubles in size.
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large pan (9 to 10") or a deep baking
sheet or a standard brownie pan, add 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive
oil. Place the dough into pan and using your fingers, spread the
dough out until it reaches the edge of the pan.
Flip the dough and repeat, creating dimples with your fingers.
Sprinkle with course sea salt and cover until your oven is preheated.
Place in the center rack of the oven and bake for approximately 28
minutes or until the top is golden brown.
