  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

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

1️⃣ Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, all-purpose flour, salt, yeast, and sugar. Add the olive oil and water, stirring with a spatula until a shaggy, wet dough forms. This is normal. The water quantity is correct, and the dough will be sticky. 🥣

2️⃣ Rest: Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let it stand for 5 minutes. 🕐

3️⃣ Stretch and Fold: Wet your hands, then stretch and fold the dough. Rotate the bowl 90° and repeat until you have done four stretch and folds around the bowl. Let it rest for 2 minutes. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three rounds of stretch and folds. 👐

4️⃣ Oil and Refrigerate: Drizzle a bit of olive oil on the dough, turn it over to coat, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate overnight (minimum 12 hours, up to 2 days). 🥄❄️

5️⃣ Prepare Pan: Generously drizzle a 9″x13″ (23cmx33cm) non-stick baking pan with olive oil. Turn the risen dough into the pan and coat it in oil. Shape it into a rough rectangle with your oiled fingers. Let it rest for 5 minutes. 🥄

6️⃣ Spread Dough: Gently spread the dough towards the edges of the pan with your oiled fingers. Drizzle a bit more olive oil on the surface to prevent drying. 🫒

7️⃣ Rise: Leave the pan in a warm spot, uncovered, to rise until doubled in size, puffy, and jiggly (2 to 4 hours). It should leave a small indentation that slowly springs back when gently pressed. 🕑

8️⃣ Preheat Oven: Toward the end of the rising process, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). 🔥

9️⃣ Prepare Topping: Mix 50g olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl. Spoon over the surface of the dough. 🧄🫒

🔟 Dimple Dough: Oil your fingers and dimple the dough all over, pressing almost to the bottom of the pan. Do not pop any bubbles. Sprinkle with rosemary, flaky sea salt, and pepper. 🌿🧂🌶️

1️⃣1️⃣ Bake: Immediately transfer to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and pulling away from the sides of the pan. 🍞⏳

1️⃣2️⃣ Cool: Remove from the oven, let stand for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. 🍞

1️⃣3️⃣ Store: Store leftovers lightly wrapped at room temperature. 🍽️
