Tomato and olive focaccia is a delicious and aromatic Italian bread that combines the flavors of juicy cherry tomatoes, briny olives, fragrant herbs, and a hint of Parmesan. Perfect as a side dish or a standalone snack, this easy-to-follow recipe will guide you through the process of making this delightful bread at home.
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active by proofing it in warm water with sugar. It should bubble and foam in about 5-10 minutes.
- Use high-quality olive oil to enhance the flavor of the focaccia dough.
- Allow sufficient time for the dough to rise. A well-risen dough will result in a fluffier and more flavorful focaccia.
- Press dimples into the dough with your fingers before adding the toppings. This will help to hold the olive oil and seasonings.
- Reserve some of the toppings to sprinkle on the dough just before baking to ensure they remain vibrant and flavorful.
- Bake the focaccia in a well-preheated oven for an evenly baked, golden crust.
- For an added flavor boost, sprinkle a light layer of sea salt over the focaccia before baking.
- Allow the focaccia to cool slightly before cutting it to maintain its structure and texture.
With its perfect combination of soft, airy dough and flavorful toppings, tomato and olive focaccia is a true crowd-pleaser. Whether served warm or at room temperature, this bread is sure to impress your guests and become a staple in your baking repertoire. Enjoy your homemade focaccia with a simple salad, as a sandwich base, or just on its own as a delicious treat.
