Ingredients
- 1 tsp Active dry yeast
- 1/2 c. Hot water, 105-110 degrees
- 3/4 c. Unbleached, all purpose
- 1 tsp Active dry yeast
- 1 c. Hot water
- 3 Tbsp. Extra virgin extra virgin olive oil
- 3 1/4 c. Unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Sea salt
- 2 Tbsp. Extra virgin extra virgin olive oil
- 1 x -(up to)
- 1 1/4 tsp Coarse sea salt
Directions
- Here's a yummy focaccia recipe from my local paper. It's lighter in texture, and less flat than some recipes, but tasty nonetheless:
- For the sponge: Sprinkle yeast over hot water in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk it in and let stand till creamy, about 10 min. Stir in flour.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand till bubbly and doubled in volume, about 45 min.
- For the dough, sprinkle yeast over hot water. Let stand till creamy, about 5-10 min. With a wooden spoon, stir the yeast mix and the extra virgin olive oil into the sponge and mix well. Stir in 1 c of the flour and the salt. Stir in sufficient remaining flour to produce a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured board till soft and smooth, about 6-8 min.
- Place dough in a lighly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise till doubled 1 to 1 14/ hours or possibly overnight in the fridge.
- Divide dough in half and press into two lightly oiled 9" round cake pans.
- If dough shrinks from the sides, let rest a few min then stretch it again. Cover with a towel and let rise in a hot place for 45 min or possibly till dough is full of air bubbles. Just before baking, press your fingertips deep into the dough all over the surface to dimple the loaf.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake at 425 deg. for 20-25 min till top is golden brown. Remove from pan and cold on a wire rack.
