Making the Dough by add all Ingredients in a bowl:
4 cups Bread Flour
1 3/4 cups Warm water
2 teaspoon Dry Yeast
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon of Olive Oil
After you mix all the ingredients, add the flour last and mix.
Drizzle with olive oil, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and cover with towel, and let it sit in a warm place to rest for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, fold it a couple of times, just like in the video. Wet your hands with water so the dough doesn't stick.
Cover with plastic wrap again and place in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. (I put mine in a turned-off oven with the light on to create a cozy place for my dough.)
Repeat the folding process and the 30-minute rest two more times.
Now we are ready to transfer our dough into the baking pan
Drizzle with olive oil into the pan and coat it all around.
Gently transfer the dough into the pan, and use your fingers to press and spread the dough out.
Rest the dough in a warm place again for 45 minutes before you bake it. Cover it with something that won't touch the surface of the dough once it rises.
I made another batch of dough so I can make 2 styles of toppings for my football party!
Repeat the same process as the first one, spreading the dough on the grease baking pan.
Rest the dough in a warm place again for 45 minutes before you bake it. Cover it with something that won't touch the surface of the dough once it rises.
After 45 minutes, both doughs are ready!
Now it's time for the toppings.
The first topping:
Rosemary (I put a big sprig in so I can take it out before I eat).
Note: If you like rosemary, you can chop it into small pieces.
Tomatoes
Olives
Coarse Sea Salt
Drizzle Olive Oil on top
Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for about 20–25 minutes, or until it is as crispy as you like!
Topping #2 (Pizza Style):
Tomato sauce
Ham
Pepperoni
Tomatoes
Leftover vegetables from my fajitas
Mexican cheese blend
Note: You can add whatever you have on hand!
After 20 minutes, both of our focaccias are ready to enjoy!
