How to make Focaccia Bread:

Step 1

Collect the water at room temperature in a large bowl together with the granulated sugar and completely dissolve the fresh brewer’s yeast.

Step 2

Add the flour type 0 and mix lightly.

Step3

Finally add the extra virgin olive oil and fine salt.

Step 4

Stir with a wooden spoon the time necessary to obtain a more or less homogeneous mixture, then let the mixture rest for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Make 2 rounds of folds; with lightly greased hands, pinch the dough on the outer sides and fold it towards the center. Repeat after 30 minutes.

Step 6

Cover with cling film and let the dough rise in a sheltered place for about an hour and a half.

Step 7

Turn the dough over onto a lightly floured work surface and fold it back on itself, closing all sides towards the center.

Step 8

Line a 30 × 26 centimeters pan with a sheet of parchment paper and grease the base with your hands. Then place the dough in the center and let it rest for 15 minutes, allowing it to relax.

Step 9

Grease the surface of the dough and your hands, then roll out the focaccia bread up to the edges.

Step 10

Cover with cling film and let it rise in a sheltered place for about 40 minutes.

Step 11

Collect 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil together with 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl and mix quickly with a fork until the emulsion has thickened.

Step 12

Gently remove the cling film and with greased fingers make the classic holes on the focaccia bread.

Step 13

With a kitchen brush, spread the emulsion, letting the holes of the focaccia bread fill.

Step 14

Sprinkle the focaccia bread with some oregano and a pinch of salt.

Step 15

Bake the focaccia bread in a preheated static oven at 220°C/430°F for about 40 minutes, monitoring the level of browning.

Step 16

Remove the focaccia bread from the oven, let it cool, slice and serve.

Enjoy !
