Easy Focaccia Bread pt. 1

⭐️ Focaccia bread is so easy! All you need is flour, water, salt, and yeast for the dough, and rosemary and olive oil as toppings. You can make it on the day or get ahead and let it proof slowly in the fridge.

⭐️ Ingredients
For the dough
3½ cups flour all-purpose flour or half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour
1½ cups + 1 tablespoon lukewarm water
1 teaspoon yeast instant dry yeast or active dry yeast. 10 grams if you use fresh yeast.
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt

❤️ Cooking should be done with caution. Pay attention while using knives and cooking tools. Nico is a trained chef, and it is solely for entertainment purposes that he sometimes looks into the camera while he cooks. ❤️

I used 600 grams of flour. I prepared my yeast as instructed in a 2 cup measuring glass. I filled the measuring glass to the 2 cup mark after it was ready. I added this to the salt/flour mixture. I used AP flour. I added 4 tablespoons of olive oil and followed his instructions.
The dough turned out very well, but I think it could have done better with slightly more olive oil or slightly less flour.
I basically followed his directions in the second video. Which is to oil a baking dish very well before you scrape the dough in the center. Run two spoons under cold water and stretch the dough to fit, best you can. Make a mixture of water, olive oil, and salt. Basically massage generous amounts of mix onto the dough, making dents with your fingers part way through. It seems like you want to work with the bubbles if they form. I added rosemary and garlic cloves to the top of mine, sure to rub the cloves into the oil mix a little before pressing in. This absolutely delicious with his bruschetta recipe. Phenomenal.
I forgot to say you let it rise for another 45 minutes after spreading the dough into the pan. Before you massage the oil mix in. For those who can’t find the second part.
Could have used 1-2 tsp more of salt. Also, I made this in a 9x12 and it turned out much thicker than I expected haha. Maybe could half the recipe too.

Leaving it in the fridge over night with less yeast is not more work, only more planing. And it turns out so much better.

General rule I like to use: activate the yeast in just a smaller amount of fluid and add the rest as needed. Depending on many things it can vary how much you'll need. It's always a mess if you add too much at the start. Every YT recipe gets it wrong by not saying this. Those measurements are working in your kitchen with your ingredients but my flour might be slightly different, requiring some adjustments. I know it because I am not a total noob but there are people out there who don't. It's a learning curve like everything else. Also if anything turns out differently than in the videos, don't panic, think it through and adjust (or call your mum/grandma/whoever is best in your inner circle with the stuff you're doing, they'll help you out).

I only have a toaster oven. Do you think i could still make this? And if so, the amount would be too big, could i split it after the 40 flips? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Looks good. Can you please post the exact recipe?
