Crazy Dough Focaccia Bread
Report
This focaccia bread uses a pre-fermented 'crazy dough' as the base, which is stretched to size and allowed to rise multiple times. It's topped with black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped rosemary before baking to produce a bread with a soft crumb and flavorful toppings. The dough is proofed and manipulated to create characteristic dimples, then baked to a golden crust.
Description
The Crazy Dough Focaccia Bread begins with a proofed dough that is gently stretched into a rectangular shape and placed into an oiled baking tin. The dough goes through additional proofing stages including punch down, resting, and a final rise after topping with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Before baking, the dough is dimpled with fingertips to create characteristic pockets that hold oil and toppings during baking. Brushing generously with olive oil enhances crust color and texture.
Baking at 425 degrees F for about 20 minutes yields a focaccia with a golden, fragrant exterior and a tender interior. Cooling slightly before slicing allows the crumb to set.
