INGREDIENTS

  • Flours and Dry Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups bread flour
    • 1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 tablespoon white sugar
    • 1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast

  • Liquids and Oils

    • 💧 1 ⅓ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

  • Toppings

    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
    • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

Stir together both flours and salt in a large, stoneware bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; sprinkle sugar and yeast into the well. Carefully pour the warm water into the well. Let stand until the yeast begins to act, about 5 minutes.

2

Pour 2 tablespoons oil into the well. Stir the center of the mixture with a wooden spoon, gradually widening the area you are stirring to incorporate all the flour.

3

Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead just until smooth. Keep the dough soft.

4

Pour 1/2 teaspoon oil into a clean bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once to oil the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.

5

Grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon oil.

6

Punch the dough down and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Gently press dough out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.

7

Pour the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil over the top of the dough. Use the handle end of a wooden spoon to dimple the dough at 1 1/2 inch intervals. Sprinkle with rosemary and Parmesan cheese. Place in a cold oven on the center shelf. Place a flat pan of hot water on the shelf below the bread. Let rise until doubled in size, 20 to 25 minutes.

8

Turn the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the focaccia until browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the pan, and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm.

💡 Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor; dried rosemary can be used in a pinch, but the taste may not be as fragrant.Make sure the water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. The ideal temperature is around 110 degrees F.For a crispier crust, you can briefly broil the focaccia for the last 1-2 minutes of baking.
