Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine the water with the yeast and mix well to hydrate all the yeast.
- 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer add the four and the salt and mix with a spoon to distribute the salt evenly.
- 3
Add the water yeast mixture to the bowl. Turn on the stand mixer with a dough attachment on low.
- 4
Add the olive oil and let it absorb completely. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and let it run for approx 10 minutes.
- 5
Take the dough out and put in a fresh bowl greased with olive oil. Cover and let sit for 2-3 hrs or until at least double in size. It's also possible to put the dough in the fridge if you want to bake it the next day.
- 6
Grease a baking tray that's approx 20 by 30 cm with olive oil. Transfer the dough into it and using wet fingers spread it out evenly. The dough will spring back but that's ok. We'll fix this later. Let it rest covered for at least 30 minutes, up to an hour.
- 7
Preheat oven to 200C with the convection fan on.
- 8
After the dough has rested and the gluten has relaxed you'll be able to do the remainder of the stretching so that it fills the whole tray. Remember to do it with wet fingers.
- 9
Make dimples with your wet fingertips. Sprinkle the oil/water mixture on top of the whole surface. Add rosemary and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- 10
Put in the oven and bake for approx 20 min. The top should be golden brown when it's ready.
- 11
Let cool a bit so it's easier to cut. Eat as is or use it to make sandwiches.

This is absolutely fantastic—soft and flavorful. The Taggiasca olives add an extra kick, while the long rise makes the dough super fluffy.

Focaccia Focaccia
I wanted to eat a really soft and tender focaccia rather than the usual type, so I adjusted a recipe I had for pizza crust.Bake it at a high temperature for a short time.In my gas oven, it's browned in about 2 minutes, so I take it out then. It's very soft.If you use a bread machine for all the steps up to Step 8, it's ultra-easy. Recipe by Pitarou

Overnight 89% Hydration Garlic and Rosemary Focaccia Overnight 89% Hydration Garlic and Rosemary Focaccia
Cold, refrigerated dough is the secret to making delicious focaccia! Allowing the dough to rest 12 to 48 hours in the fridge yields the best result... The focaccia will emerge from the oven pillowy and golden. This focaccia has a crisp outside and a soft inside with large air pockets, and is super versatile - you can finish it however you like. Here I'm topping it with Garlic Olive Oil and Rosemary with a touch of flaky salt and black pepper!

Beet Focaccia Beet Focaccia
Every year, October is dedicated to breast cancer prevention. The LILT (Italian League for the Fight Against Cancer) promotes this cause by offering free breast exams throughout Italy. I wanted to honor this initiative with a naturally pink focaccia, made without any artificial coloring but with pureed red beet added to the dough. The color fades during baking, but the dough is still excellent.
