It has been a few weeks since I baked anything and I’m going through serious withdrawals. I usually do most of my baking on weekends when I have more time and energy. But I couldn’t wait until then and so I decided to make some bread to go with dinner last night. Because I didn’t want anything too time consuming, but also wanted something a little more exiting, I decided on foccacia.
Foccacia is a fairly simple bread to make and doesn’t require a lot of time for fermenting or proofing. There’s also so much you can do with it in terms of flavors and toppings. I chose rosemary and Parmesan cheese since I had those on hand, but you can be creative.
The bread turned out beautifully and tasted delicious. It went perfectly with our pasta dinner.
Rosemary Parmesan Foccacia
1 Tbsp (0.4 oz) sugar
1 Tbsp (0.4 oz) active dry yeast
12 fl oz lukewarm water
2 1/3 cup (11 lb 2 oz) all purpose flour
2 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp chopped rosemary
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp (0.4 oz) active dry yeast
12 fl oz lukewarm water
2 1/3 cup (11 lb 2 oz) all purpose flour
2 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp chopped rosemary
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
Mix together the water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with a dough hook. Add flour half a cup at a time, scraping down the bowl and mixing till just combined after each addition. Add 1 tsp of the salt and knead dough until smooth, about five minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl and ferment in a warm place until doubled. For me this took approximately 30 minutes. Punch down the dough and spread out onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with olive oil and proof until doubled again, approximately 15 minutes. Dapple the dough with your fingertips and sprinkle with remaining kosher salt, rosemary and Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

I tried making your bread today, but the dough was so wet I couldn’t kneed it at all! Could you check the quantities for me please? I used 1 1/2 cups water, which I googled for 12 fl oz, but 2 1/2 cups flour wasn’t nearly enough?
