Are you a bread lover? If so, you must try making focaccia! This classic Italian bread is incredibly delicious and surprisingly easy to make. In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of making the perfect focaccia bread right in your own kitchen.

What you will need:

  • 500g of bread flour
  • 10g of active dry yeast
  • 350ml of warm water
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • A handful of fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Sea salt for sprinkling

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, active dry yeast, and salt. Make sure to evenly distribute the yeast and salt throughout the flour.

Slowly add the warm water to the mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Once the dough comes together, drizzle olive oil over the top and knead it in the bowl for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 2: First Rise

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 3: Shaping and Second Rise

After the first rise, transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface. Gently punch it down to remove any air bubbles.

Using your hands, shape the dough into a rectangle or square approximately 1 inch thick.

Place the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover it with the kitchen towel. Let it rise for another 30 minutes to an hour.

Step 4: Adding the Toppings

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

Using your fingertips, make dimples all over the surface of the dough. This will create those characteristic pockets for the olive oil and rosemary to settle into.

Drizzle the top of the dough with olive oil, making sure to coat all the dimples. Sprinkle sea salt all over the top and press the fresh rosemary sprigs gently into the dough.

Step 5: Baking

Place the focaccia in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until it turns golden brown on top.

Once ready, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your homemade, mouthwatering focaccia! It’s perfect as a side dish or for creating delicious sandwiches.

Now that you know how easy it is to make focaccia, wouldn’t you want to give it a try? Follow these steps, and impress your friends and family with your baking skills!
