@gracefrancesofficial: 🥖 Focaccia Bread Recipe (Mixer Method) Ingredients * Yeast: 2 and 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet) * Water: 1 and 1/3 cups warm water (about 110°F / 45°C) * Flour: 3 and 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour * Salt: 2 teaspoons salt * Olive Oil: 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for greasing and topping) * Rosemary: 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (or dried, optional) * Topping: Flaky sea salt for topping Step-by-Step Instructions * Activate the Yeast: * In the bowl of your stand mixer, stir the yeast into the warm water with a pinch of sugar. * Let sit for 5–10 minutes, until foamy. * Make and Knead the Dough: * Attach the dough hook to your mixer. * Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, and 1/4 cup olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until combined. * Gradually add the remaining flour (about 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups) while the mixer is running on low, until a soft, sticky dough forms that just starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. * Increase the speed to low-medium and knead for 6 to 8 minutes. The dough will be very soft and slightly tacky, but it should be smooth and elastic by the end of the kneading time. * First Rise (Bulk Fermentation): * Lightly oil a large, separate bowl. * Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size. * Prepare the Pan: * Generously grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or baking sheet with olive oil. * Transfer the dough to the pan and gently stretch it to roughly fit the shape. Cover and let it rest (second rise) for another 30 minutes. * Dimple & Season: * Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). * Use your fingers (oiled, if sticky) to gently poke deep dimples all over the dough. * Drizzle the surface generously with extra olive oil. Sprinkle with rosemary and flaky sea salt. * Bake: * Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the focaccia is golden brown on top. * Remove from the oven, drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired, and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
