Easy Focaccia Recipe
Fresh homemade dough infused with rosemary and garlic to make a fluffy and buttery focaccia bread.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp yeast
- 5 cups flour 00 flour is recommended
- 2 1/2 cups room temperature water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic
- olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Place water and sugar in a measuring cup and mix
- In a large bowl add flour and salt. Mix well with a fork. Build a well in the center of the flour mound.
- Slowly pour the water into the well. Using your fork start mixing the dough until all of the water is mixed into the flour. You will have a nice mound of dough.
- Place the dough on a floured surface and start kneading the dough with your hands. Push the dough away from you and then pull it towards you. Do this for 5-10 minutes. Place dough in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 30 minutes to an hour.
- When dough has increased in size take it out and cut the dough into equal size balls. You should get about 6 dough balls from the mound of dough. Place the balls on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- When you're ready to use the dough pre heat your oven to 400 degrees. Place one of the dough balls into a baking dish. Using two fingers poke holes into the dough being careful not to break through to the pan. Poke these holes all along the top of the dough. Drizzle with more olive oil, garlic and rosemary. Place in the oven for 20 minutes. When done baking let cool and then slice. Serve with your favorite balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
