Focaccia

Get
  • 2 cup (250g) bread flour
  • 1 cup (236g) warm water
  • honey
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 1.5 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (for crust)
  • 1 tbsp rock salt (for crust)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for crust)

Do
  • Squirt a bit of honey into the warm water and awaken the yeast into it for about 10 minutes until it blooms.
  • Add the flour and salt, combine and knead for about 5 minutes. It's a really wet dough.
  • Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and fridge overnight or 2 days.
  • After removing, punch it down. Then line a 9" square pan with parchment and pour 1 tbsp of olive oil in the bottom. Roll the dough in the oil to coat it and form a ball.
  • Leave it in the pan to warm and do a 2nd rise for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Make a bunch of deep finger dimples, then pour another 1 tbsp olive oil to coat the top. Sprinkle the salt and rosemary on.
  • Leave a pan of 1 cup water in the oven for a steam bath. Then bake the dough immediately for 25 minutes at 425F, or until 200F inside.

Notes
  • based primarily on: https://alexandracooks.com/2018/03/02/overnight-refrigerator-focaccia-best-focaccia/
  • the oil on the crust, combined with the steam bath, really turned it into pizza hut crust. nobody is complaining.
