My favourite recipe for focaccia. It takes some time, but mostly waiting time, not actual working time. And absolutely worth doing it. The times are indicative, a little bit shorter or longer doesn't hurt.

Recipe

  • Step 1
    • 400 grams flour (T00 is a good choice)
    • 280 grams water
    • 9 grams dry yeast
    • Combine these ingredients and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Step 2

    • Now let it rest for 40 minutes.
  • Step 5
    • Repeat step 4 (including rest) two more times.
  • Step 6
    • Spread olive oil on the bottom of an oven tray. Sprinkle a little beetje semolina on the bottom.
    • Put the dough in the oven tray, and also spread a little oil on top of it..
    • Let it proof for an hour.
    • This you could do a day in advance and put the dough in the fridge or another cool spot..
  • Step 7
    • Flatten the dough and let is rest for 30 minutes
    • Preheat the oven on 220 degrees Celsius.
  • Step 8

    • Make little wholes in the dough and sprinkle the salamoia over the dough.
    • Sprinke a bit of salt (fior di sale) over the dough
    • Bake 30 - 40 minutes in the oven until a nice, golden colour.

Let it cool down and enjoy!.
