Rosemary and Red Pepper Focaccia Bread
INGREDIENTS
Dough:
• 4 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsps active dry yeast
• 2 cups lukewarm water (100-115 degrees)
• butter for greasing
• 4 tbsp Drizzle’s Rosemary olive oil, divided
Toppings:
• 1/4 cup Roasted Red Pepper, diced
• 1 tsp dried Rosemary or 1 tbsp fresh Rosemary leaves
• Flaky sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
• Bloom the yeast. Sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm water. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. If the yeast doesn’t foam, throw it away and start over.
• Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast and water. Using a rubber spatula, mix until the liquid is absorbed and a sticky dough ball forms. Rub the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot and let rise for 60-90 minutes. Be sure to cover so a crust doesn’t form on the dough.
• Butter a 9×13-inch pan and line with parchment paper so the focaccia doesn’t stick to the pan. Pour 2 tablespoons of Rosemary olive oil into the prepared pan.
• Gently deflate the dough by releasing it from the sides of the bowl and pulling it toward the center with a rubber spatula, turning the mass into a rough ball. Place the the dough ball into the pan and roll in the oil to coat it all over. Let the dough ball rest for an hour depending on the temperature of your kitchen (Do not cover for this rise).
• While the dough is rising, ready your toppings.
• Preheat oven to 425°F, near the end of the rise time. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the dough. Rub your hands lightly in the oil to coat, then, using all of your fingers, press straight down to create deep dimples. Gently stretch the dough as you dimple to allow the dough to fill the pan. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt all over. Sprinkle your toppings on the dimpled focaccia.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until the underside is golden and crisp. It should pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove from the oven and transfer the focaccia to a cooling rack.
