Ingredients

  • 400 g self-rising flour 15 ounce
  • 10 g instant yeast 0.4 ounce
  • 1 Teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of salt
  • 4 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 200 ml warm water ⅘ cup
  • 120 ml of milk ½ cup
For the toppings
  • 20 cherry tomatoes
  • 10 black olives
  • rock salt
  • rosemary
  • 1 glass of water
  • 3 Tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Mix well.
  2. Add 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix all together.
  3. Add the milk and water, then knead the dough by hand or with your mixer, until the dough is extremely elastic and very sticky.
  4. Now let the dough rise. Put the dough in a bowl greased with oil and cover well with a cloth, then set aside to rise for about 2-3 hours.
  5. Flatten the dough on an oiled baking tray. Use your hands to flatten the dough. PS: If the dough keeps shrinking, cover it for 5 minutes to let it rest.
  6. Let the dough rest in a hot spot until the dough is swollen and full of bubbles and almost doubled in height. This takes about about 45 minutes.
  7. Season the dough generously with a mixture of water and oil. With your hands, press your fingertips firmly into the dough, pushing all the way down to the bottom of the pan to create dimples.
  8. Add the toppings: rosemary, olives, cherry tomatoes and coarse salt.
  9. Cook in a static oven preheated to 375ºF (190ºC) for 25 minutes.Our very soft focaccia is ready!!!

Notes

  • If you wish to make the surface golden and crispy, during the last 5 minutes of baking, set the oven to the grill function and you will see how immediately your focaccia will take on color: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside it will taste even better.
