Report
Italian focaccia bread studded with oil cured olives and sundried tomatoes.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups warm water
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 cups bread flour
- ⅓ cup oil-cured olives chopped (plus more for topping)
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes julienned (plus more for topping)
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir together and let sit for 10-15 minutes or until yeast is frothy.
- Place the flours, olives, tomatoes, 1/2 cup olive oil, kosher salt, and proofed yeast mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached.
- Turn the mixer on low speed until the mixture comes together. Increase the mixer speed to medium and knead for 5-6 minutes or until smooth and soft.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand 3 or 4 times adding only a small amount of additional flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Clean the mixer bowl. Coat the inside of the bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place the kneaded dough in the bowl and turn it so that both top and bottom are coated with olive oil.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place until doubled in volume – approximately 1 hour.
- Pour the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil onto a baking sheet.
- Put the dough onto the baking sheet and start pressing it out to fit the pan.
- Turn the dough over so that both sides are nicely coated with oil.
- As you are pressing the dough out, use your fingers to create holes or pockets all throughout the dough.
- Place additional whole olives and slices of sun-dried tomato on top of the dough and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary.
- Cover and allow to rise again until doubled in size – about 1 hour.
- Near the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- When ready to bake, sprinkle the top of the dough with kosher or coarse salt.
- Bake until nicely browned – about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Tips:
- To make whole wheat focaccia without a stand mixer: Mix the ingredients in a bowl until they form a rough ball. Then, on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 5 minutes or until a smooth ball forms.
- Storing focaccia: Homemade focaccia usually lasts only 1 to 2 days well wrapped stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, wrap well and freeze for up to a month.
- Be sure you’re using bread flour and not all-purpose flour to ensure that the bread has its classic chewy texture.
- Make sure any fresh toppings are added after the bread has finished baking to keep them from wilting.
- This bread can dry out quickly, so make sure you wrap any leftovers in plastic wrap to keep it moist.
