Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 1/3 cups Warm Water
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt (natural)
  • 1 tbsp Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural)
  • 2 tbsp Roasted Garlic (mashed)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp Natural Gelling Agent

Topping (Optional)

  • Fresh Rosemary Sprigs
  • Flaky Sea Salt (natural) for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roasted Garlic: Begin by roasting whole garlic cloves in the oven until they become soft and golden, creating a sweet, mellow garlic flavor that will infuse the bread beautifully.
  2. Mix and Knead the Dough: Combine warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl and let it activate until frothy, about 5-10 minutes. Stir in the all-purpose flour, sea salt (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), mashed roasted garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, olive oil, and natural gelling agent. Knead the mixture until you achieve a smooth and elastic dough, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size and feels soft to the touch.
  4. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Transfer the risen dough to a parchment-lined baking pan. Gently press it out into an even rectangle. Use your fingertips to create dimples evenly across the surface. Drizzle extra olive oil on top, then sprinkle additional fresh rosemary and flaky sea salt (natural) as desired.
  5. Final Rise: Allow the dough to rest and rise for another 30 minutes to develop the signature lightness and puffiness before baking.
  6. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake the focaccia in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and aromatic. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for consistent dough texture and optimal yeast activity.
  • Check yeast freshness to ensure the best rise and fluffiness.
  • Pressing dimples into the dough traps olive oil and seasonings, enhancing the flavor and texture.
  • Generously use olive oil to add moisture, flavor, and promote a golden crust.
  • Allow full rising times patiently to develop a light, airy crumb.
  • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking during baking.
