Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 Teaspoons sea salt
- 3½ Cups all purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 Tablespoon instant yeast bread-making
- 1½ Cups water warm, filtered
- 1½ Teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 red bell peppers large, cut into triangles
- 1 cherry tomato yellow
- arugula optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine salt, sugar, flour, rosemary, yeast, water, and olive oil. Mix with an electric mixer, with dough hook attachment, or a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- On a 9 x13-inch baking slab or dish pour olive oil and spread until it's evenly coated. Place the dough in the dish and press down until it reaches the corner of the dish. Cover with plastic wrap or a wet towel and allow to rise for an hour.
- Once dough has risen, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Poke the dough all over with your fingers.
- Arrange the bell peppers into 2 flower shapes on the dough.
- Cut the yellow tomato in half and place 1 half in the center of 1 flower and the other half in the center of the other.
- Sprinkle with more salt and bake for 25 minutes on the center rack of the oven.
- Once cooked, drizzle with olive oil and arrange arugula leaves near the flowers to imitate leaves (optional).
Notes
Water temperature: The warm water you add to the focaccia dough should be between 120°F and 130°F.
Mixing the dough: Either use an electric mixer with a dough hook or a spatula to achieve a shaggy textured dough.
Making the holes: When poking holes in the dough, coat your fingers in oil or water so the dough doesn't stick to your fingers.
