INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 💧 2 cups water
    • 1 packet (0.25 ounce) active-dry yeast
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon sugar
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧂 1 tablespoon kosher salt
    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 cups bread flour

  • Toppings

    • 🧅 1 small onion
    • 🍖 1/2 pound ground beef
    • 🧀 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese
    • 2 spears dill pickle

STEPS

1

Pour water into a large bowl and sprinkle yeast and sugar on top. Mix briefly, then let sit until the yeast blooms (about 10 minutes).

2

Stir in olive oil and salt. Add all-purpose and bread flour, stirring until no dry streaks remain.

3

Cover and allow dough to rise for 45 minutes. Perform ‘stretch and fold’ technique every 30 minutes, repeating 4 times over 2 hours.

4

Lightly oil a 9x13 metal pan and stretch dough into all corners. Cover and let rise for an hour.

5

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Sauté onions in olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned (about 5 minutes). Drain and cool.

6

Drizzle focaccia with olive oil, dimple the surface, and layer cheese evenly. Add cooked onions and beef.

7

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.

8

Let rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board to cool for another 10 minutes. Sprinkle chopped pickles before serving.
