Instructions
- Add warm water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, bread flour, yeast, sugar, and table salt to your bread machine following the manufacturer's directions for order. Set the machine on the dough cycle.9 ounces warm water | 2 tbsp olive oil | 3 1/4 cups (410 grams) bread flour | 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast | 2 tsp granulated sugar | 1 tsp table salt
- Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a nonstick 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan, or for thicker focaccia, a 9-inch square baking pan.3 tbsp olive oil
- When the cycle is finished, scrape the dough out into the pan, disturbing it as little as possible. Let it relax for 15 minutes, then stretch it gently to fit the pan. Let the dough rise in the pan for 25 minutes.
- During the last 10 to 15 minutes of rising, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- With oiled fingers, poke the dough all over, making several "dimples." Sprinkle with coarsely ground black pepper and flaky sea salt, along with rosemary and garlic powder, if using. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then bake the focaccia for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden brown.1/4 to 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper | 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt | Rosemary leaves (optional) | Garlic powder (optional) | 1 tbsp olive oil
- Remove the bread to a rack and let it cool slightly before slicing.
When adding the salt, make sure it is not in contact with the yeast.
Tip: If the pan isn't nonstick, grease it with a little butter or cooking spray and line it with parchment paper BEFORE adding the 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
