Ingredients
Focaccia Bread
-
1 cup Warm Water
-
2 ¼ tsp Active Dry Yeast
-
¼ tsp Honey
-
2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
-
¾ cup PizzaOlio Infused Olive Oil, divided
-
1 tsp Rosemary Infused Sea Salt
-
1 Tbsp Mediterranean Rosemary Rub & Seasoning
-
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
-
½ cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
Dipping
Directions
Mix the warm water, yeast and honey in a large bowl and let the yeast bloom.
Add the flour, ¼ cup PizzaOlio Infused Olive Oil, and Rosemary Infused Sea Salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a fork until the flour has been hydrated and a dough forms. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead dough until combined and smooth, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 Tbsp PizzaOlio Infused Olive Oil to a clean bowl and roll dough ball in oil to coat (to prevent from sticking). Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise for one hour.
Drizzle 2 Tbsp PizzaOlio Infused Olive Oil into the bottom of a cookie sheet or 9” x 13” baking dish. Add dough to the dish and use your hands to stretch and shape the dough to the size of the pan. Use your finger tips to make dimples in the dough.
Pour the remaining 2 Tbsp PizzaOlio Olive Oil over bread and sprinkle with the Mediterranean Rub, using your hands to spread the oil and seasoning over top of the dough. Add tomatoes and feta on top and press the toppings into the dough.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve fresh alongside pasta or with oil and balsamic for dipping. Enjoy!
