Ingredients
- are the simple ingredients for Le Creuset Focaccia Recipe:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet 2 ¼ tsp dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water not hot
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon rosemary dried or fresh
- Sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
Activate the Yeast
- Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes. When it looks foamy, it’s ready to use.
Make the Dough
- In a big bowl, add flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mix and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir until it becomes a sticky dough.
Knead the Dough
- Put a little flour on your hands. Knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Add a few drops of water if it feels too dry.
Let It Rise
- Grease a bowl with olive oil. Put the dough in and cover with a towel. Let it rest for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Pan
- Brush your Le Creuset pan with olive oil. Once the dough has risen, place it in the pan. Press it gently so it spreads evenly.
Make the Dents
- Dip your fingers in oil and press small dents into the dough. These holes help the focaccia bake evenly.
Add Toppings
- Brush more olive oil on top. Sprinkle rosemary and sea salt. You can also add tomatoes, olives, or garlic if you want.
Bake the Bread
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
Cool and Serve
- Take the bread out of the oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm with soup, cheese, or olive oil.
Notes
- Use warm water for the yeast, not hot.
- Let the dough rise fully before baking.
- Always use olive oil for flavor and texture.
- Add herbs or cheese for extra taste.
- Bake in a preheated oven for best results.
