One hour focaccia bread -Ingredients:
- 320 ml water
- 7 g instant yeast (1 packet)
- 8 g sugar
- 400 g flour
- 8 g kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
Foccacia Bread Instructions:
Blend It Up: In a food processor, briefly blend the water, sugar, kosher salt, and instant yeast.
Add the Flour: Add the flour to the wet mixture in the food processor. Blend until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it forms a smooth ball.
Let It Rise: Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise covered with a cloth for 15 minutes.
Shape the Focaccia: After the dough has risen, shape it into a rectangle about ½ inch thick on a 9" x 12" sheet pan lined with parchment paper or greased. Let that rise covered with a cloth for 10 minutes.
Season and Drizzle: Sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning over the dough. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top.
Create Dimples: Use your fingertips to gently press down on the dough, creating dimples all over the surface.
Final Rise: Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 15 minutes while preheating your oven to 450°F.
Bake: Once the dough has finished its final rise, bake it in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Enjoy: Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade focaccia with your favorite toppings or as a side to your favorite meal!
