Ingredientes

4 cups 500g bread flour or all-purpose flour

2 1/4 teaspoons 7g active dry yeast or instant yeast

2 teaspoons 10g salt

1 3/4 cups 415ml warm water

1/4 cup 60ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

Instruções

Mixing and kneading the dough:

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast. Add 1 3/4 cups of warm water and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First rise:

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Shaping and dimpling the focaccia:

Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Gently stretch the dough to fit the pan. Use your fingertips to create those signature dimples all over the surface.

Second rise:

Cover the dough and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Topping and baking:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Drizzle the focaccia generously with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
