Categories     Bread     Bake     Winter     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 7

a 1/4-ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) plus 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 3/4 cups lukewarm water
5 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon table salt
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon coarse salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment proof the yeast with the sugar in the water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy, add the flour, the table salt, and 3 tablespoons of the oil, and combine the dough well. With the dough hook knead the dough for 2 minutes, or until it is soft and slightly sticky. Form the dough into a ball, transfer it to an oiled bowl, and turn it to coat it with the oil. Let the dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk. The dough may be made up to this point, punched down, and kept, covered and chilled, overnight. Let the dough return to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe. Press the dough evenly into an oiled jelly-roll pan, 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 by 1 inches, and let it rise, covered loosely, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is almost double in bulk.
  • Dimple the dough, making 1/4-inch-deep indentations with your fingertips, brush it with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle it with the coarse salt. Bake the focaccia in the bottom third of a preheated 400°F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is golden brown, let it cool in the pan on a rack, and serve it warm or at room temperature, split for sandwiches if desired.

This is the worst focaccia recipe I've ever tried. The bread was dense and gummy, and the flavor was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my focaccia didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The bread was a bit dry and the crust was too hard.

This focaccia is a bit dense for my taste, but it's still very good. I think it would be great for sandwiches or paninis.
