Homemade Focaccia with Olives Recipe (Brief)

Want to try making authentic focaccia at home? Here’s a basic recipe:

1. Ingredients: 500 g all-purpose flour, 7 g active dry yeast, 350 ml warm water, 50 ml olive oil (plus a little extra for greasing), 10 g salt, a handful of pitted olives, rosemary (optional), coarse sea salt.
2. Dough Preparation: Mix yeast with water and let stand for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and 2-3 tbsp. olive oil. Knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
3. Shaping and Baking: Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the dough and gently stretch it across the entire surface. Make indentations with your fingers, into which you then press the olives. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary and coarse salt. Bake in a preheated oven (e.g., LORETTO) at 200°C for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Using a modern LORETTO oven, you can be confident in even baking and a perfect crispy crust. The precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution feature will make the baking process easy and predictable.
