Ingredients
For the dough:
- 800 g all-purpose flour
- 500 ml water warm
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 20 g yeast dry
For the toppings:
- 200 g cheese cut into large chunks (asiago, feta, mozzarella, or halloumi work well)
- 3 tbsp Za’atar
- 1 tsp sumac
- 1 bunch green onions chopped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil, and warm water. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
- Lightly oil a large baking sheet or tray. Transfer the dough onto the tray and stretch it out gently using oiled hands.
- Distribute the cheese and chopped green onions evenly over the surface.
- In a small bowl, mix the za’atar and sumac with a bit of olive oil (optional, but enhances flavor). Drizzle or brush this mixture over the dough. Press everything in slightly with your fingers.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden and cooked through.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy!
Notes
- Tips:
- ✔ For a fluffier texture, allow a second rise directly in the baking tray (20–30 minutes).
- ✔ For a more intense flavor, mix the za’atar and sumac with a bit of olive oil before spreading them on the dough.
- ✔ Sprinkle with sesame or black cumin seeds before baking for a satisfying crunch.
