Essential ingredients for focaccia For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: Focaccia dough Cherry tomatoes Fresh rosemary Parmesan cheese Ad Morum Extra Virgin Olive Oil Sea salt The role of EVOO in focaccia Ad Morum's EVOO is not just an ingredient; it's the soul of this recipe. Its fruity flavor and bitter and spicy notes enhance every bite, turning this focaccia into a true gem of Mediterranean cuisine. Don't hesitate to use extra virgin olive oil for the best results and a final product that will delight everyone. Step-by-step preparation 1. Prepare the dough In a large bowl, add the sifted flour, bread yeast, and sugar. Mix well with a spoon to combine all the dry ingredients. If you prefer to use fresh yeast, remember that you will need 15 grams instead of 5 grams of dry yeast. 2. Incorporate the liquids Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gradually add the warm water, mixing with a spoon or your hands. Add the salt and begin to incorporate the extra virgin olive oil into the dough, mixing until you achieve a homogeneous texture. 3. Kneading and resting Knead the mixture on a lightly floured surface for about 12 minutes until the dough becomes elastic. Form the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rest in a warm place for at least an hour, until the dough has doubled in volume. 4. Shape the focaccia Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and knead briefly to release any excess air. Grease a baking sheet with extra virgin olive oil and spread the dough with your hands, leaving it about two centimeters thick. Lightly press with your fingers to create indentations on the surface of the dough. Sprinkle with flaky salt, add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and place the halved cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with dried rosemary and basil and let it rest again for half an hour. 5. Baking With the oven preheated to 250ºC, place the baking sheet with the dough and bake for 15 minutes. If the surface browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil. Once baked, let the focaccia cool slightly before enjoying it.
