Method for Foccacia Dough

  • In mixer bowl with dough hook attachment combine water and yeast.
  • Mix on low speed until yeast is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and mix on medium low speed for 12 minutes.
  • Dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl and be smooth and elastic.
  • Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let proof at room temperature until doubled in volume.
  • Liberally coat a jelly roll pan with olive oil and evenly dust with cornmeal.
  • Punch down foccacia dough and flatten out to fit pan.
  • Lightly oil top of dough.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, top with another pan and weight with something heavy like canned goods.
  • This helps the dough form to the shape of the pan.
  • Let proof for one hour.
  • Remove top pan, weights, and plastic wrap.
  • Rub with more olive oil and dimple dough with your fingers.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake in a preheated 350° oven until lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven.
