One Hour Focaccia Bread
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup warm water I heat mine to about 90 degrees
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- olive oil for drizzling if desired
- sea salt for topping if desired
- extra parmesan cheese for topping if desired
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Grease a cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, set aside.
-
Add the water, sugar, and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough attachment. Stir to combine.
-
Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes or until it becomes foamy.
-
Add in flour, salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix until the dough begins to pull away from the sides and forms a sticky ball. If it is not pulling from the sides add a bit more flour (a tablespoon at a time).
-
Lightly flour your hands and form the dough into a ball. Place in the skillet and spread to cover the entire skillet.
-
Turn off the oven and place the skillet in the oven for 20 minutes to rise.
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees.
-
Meanwhile combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, parmesan, garlic powder and rosemary.
-
Brush the mixture on top of the bread. Using your fingertips make indents over the top of the dough.
-
Place back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, and parmesan cheese for topping, if desired.
