Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer
  • 1 dough scraper
  • 1 springform pan square
  • 1 casserole dish
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
 
 

Basic dough

  • 450 g all-purpose flour
  • 7 g instant yeast (alternatively also fresh yeast)
  • 300 ml water warm
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pizza seasoning if desired rosemary, herbs

  • 1 tbsp seasoning e.g. rosemary, herbs
  • 3 tbsp grated cheese gauda, pizza cheese, mozzarella cheese

Recipe-Instruction
 

  • Mix dry yeast with flour, then add warm water. Add salt and oil, and spices. The dough should be smooth and spread-tender, otherwise add a little more flour.
    450 g (3 ⅔ cups) all-purpose flour
    7 g (3 tsp) instant yeast
    300 ml (1 ⅓ cups) water
    4 tbsp olive oil
    1 tsp salt
    1 tbsp pizza seasoning
  • Cover and let rise for at least 30 minutes in a warm place, so that no drafts get to the dough. The dough has now expanded and is "fluffier". Start 30 minutes timer here
  • Depending on your preference, you can line a baking sheet with baking paper, or choose a loaf pan (or springform pan) if you want higher edges. Drizzle baking paper or loaf pan with plenty of olive oil and pour dough over it.
  • Now press small indentations into the dough with your fingers or a wooden spoon stick and press in olives, tomatoes or peppers as desired. Drizzle the dough with oil and add herbs or salt and cheese as desired.

  • After a short further resting period, the dough can be placed in the preheated oven at 200 °C °C or 175 °C °C. Now, after 10-15 minutes, you should determine the desired degree of browning and then take the bread out. If desired, the bread can be drizzled with oil again. Leave the focaccia to cool for about an hour and then enjoy. Start 10 minutes timer here
