I have been wanting to make Focaccia for a whlie now. Watching the 2019 series of the Great British Baking Show inspired me. Giuseppe Dell’Anno, who won the show, made a fantastic focaccia and that is what got me going. To make my first focaccia, I used
- 500 g of bread flour
- 320–340ml warm water (increase slightly)
- 50ml warm milk
- 7g instant yeast
- 4g sugar
- 10g salt
- 40 g olive oil
Its a wet dough, so it rests for 45 min, then I stretch and fold, and repeat that several times (30-45 min rests) then it goes into the oiled pan and into the fridge covered for about 7 hours. After that, it comes out for an hour before it gets dimpled and topped, in this case with kalamata olives, Roma tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic with a litle rosemary and flake salt for seasoning

This was a home run!
