Imagine a bread so versatile that you can top it with almost anything. Leftover pizza toppings? Sure thing! Fresh rosemary from the garden? Absolutely! Focaccia is an Italian flatbread that’s perfectly crispy on the outside, yet soft and airy on the inside. It’s the blank canvas of the bread world, and today, we're going to show you how to master it using the Revolve Oven. Let's get baking!
In the video I will show you a way to make focaccia using a single pizza dough ball, but in the below recipe I will show a way to get the focaccia extra airy by letting 2-3 dough balls re-proof for another 1-2 hours.
Focaccia Recipe Ingredients
- 2-3 Biga Dough Balls (See recipe here)
- 3 tbsp / 50ml olive oil
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- Any leftover pizza toppings or toppings of your choice
Focaccia Directions
The secret to a soft, airy focaccia lies in the proofing. Let your dough rest and rise properly for the best results. Check the video for a tip on how to make a fast focaccia using a frying pan!
Step 1
Combine 2-3 ready Biga dough balls into a single dough.
Step 2
Place the combined dough into the cast iron pan and sprinkle with olive oil
Step 3
Let the dough proof again for at least an hour
Step 4
Once risen, sprinkle generously with olive oil
Step 5
Place your toppings, such as cherry tomatoes and olives by pushing them into the dough
Step 6
Cover the dough with the lid and cook under low flame for about 40 minutes. Don't place the cast iron pan into a hot oven to ensure more even cooking.
Make it your own!
The whole point of focaccia is that it is such a versatile bread where your imagination is your limit. Use any herbs, garlic, onion, vegetables that you have at home or different meats. Make the bread slightly spicy by adding some chili flakes. Get creative and post your best recipes on Instagram and tag us @revolvepizzaoven
