Ready In: 0 mins
Yields: 1 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch Focaccia
Ingredients
- 1 (1/4ounce) package active dry yeast
- 1⁄4 teaspoon unbleached cane sugar
- 1 1⁄4 cups water
- 3 1⁄2 cups unbleached flour or 3 1⁄2 cups bread flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- mixed herbs (oregano, basil, garlic powder, sage, marjoram and rosemary)
- red pepper flakes, crushed
- salt & pepper
Directions
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup warm water and set aside until bubbly about 10-15 minutes.
- In a food processor, combine flour, salt, 1 T. olive oil, and yeast mixture, processing until dough pulls away from the sides to form a ball.
- Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Place a little olive oil in a bowl, place dough in the bowl, give it a twist, turn the ball over to coat the other side, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
- Punch dough down. Transfer to a floured surface and stretch dough to fit a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch pan. Lightly grease the pan, transfer dough to the pan, and stretch as needed to fit. Using your fingertips make "dimples" across the top of the dough.
- Brush remaining olive oil over the top of the dough, sprinkle with desired amount of each herb, a few crushed red pepper flakes, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Allow to rise uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Cut as desired.
