Ingredients

Units Scale

Focaccia Dough

  • 300g Bread Flour
  • 300g All-Purpose Flour
  • 14g salt
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 20g Filippo Berio 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 535g lukewarm water
  • Extra Oil for greasing the dough and pan

Garlic and Rosemary Topping

  • 50g Filippo Berio 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated on a microplane
  • Leaves from 1 sprig rosemary, or to taste
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling, optional
  • A few turns of black pepper for finishing, optional

Instructions

  1. FOCACCIA DOUGH – In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt, yeast, and sugar. Add olive oil and water, mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Perform stretch and folds on the dough. Cover and let sit for 2 minutes. Repeat stretch and folding process three times, two minutes apart. Drizzle with olive oil, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  2. Generously oil a 9×13 non-stick baking pan. Transfer dough to pan, shape into a rectangle, and let it relax. Spread the dough in the pan, drizzle with olive oil, and let rise until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  3. Combine olive oil and garlic, spoon over the dough. Dimple the dough with oiled fingers, sprinkle with rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Allow to cool before slicing.

Notes

  • The water quantity is correct. The dough is meant to be wet and sticky. Using a nonstick pan is crucial to prevent sticking. Adjust recipe for a thinner focaccia by scaling the ingredients accordingly.
  • For variations in rising time and temperature, refer to the ‘Sample Schedule’ in the blog post.
