Focaccia
Ingredients
- 500g bread flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 21g/12g fresh/dried yeast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 400ml cold water
- rosemary and more olive oil and salt for drizzling
Method
- Mix the flour, salt, yeast and olive oil in a bowl with 300ml water. Knead in the bowl while adding the remaining water
- Stretch the dough by hand in the bowl, pulling up the side and folding into the centre. Turn by 90° and repeat for 5 minutes
- Knead on an oiled surface for another 5 minutes. Return to the bowl and leave to rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Tip out and tip into a baking/roasting tray - mine is about 25x20x4cm. Flatten out with stiff fingers. Place in large plastic bag - ensure bag doesn't touch dough and leave to rise for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 220℃. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and rosemary. Bake for 20 minutes
