Easy fluffy focaccia topped with tomatoes and rosemary for beginners.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tsp (2 sachets) dried yeast
  • 5.00 gm caster sugar
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) warm water
  • 500g Bread & Pizza Plain Flour
  • 7.20 gm salt, plus extra, to sprinkle
  • 80ml extra virgin olive oil, plus extra, to drizzle
  • 200g tomato medley mix, halved
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs, for topping
Instructions:
  • Whisk yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl using a balloon whisk. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour and 2 tsp salt. Pour in yeast mixture and 2 tbs oil. Stir with a fork until combined. Slowly add the remaining 1 1/4 cups water, stirring until a sticky ball forms. Spritz with olive oil, cover, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Grease a 25 x 35cm (base measurement) baking tray with oil. Transfer the dough onto the tray using a spatula or pastry scraper. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then gently press it to the edges. Drizzle with extra oil and let it sit for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons of water with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Use your fingertips to create dimples in the focaccia, then pour the oil mixture over the top. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 230°C/210°C fan forced. Press the tomato gently into the dough, sprinkle with rosemary and a bit of extra salt. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
