Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast and sugar with the warm water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture.
- Add the olive oil and the egg to the flour mixture.
- Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead it for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You should be able to stretch the dough without it breaking.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat it with oil.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly oil a baking sheet or a rectangular baking pan.
- Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release the air.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan.
- Use your hands to spread and press the dough evenly to fill the pan.
- Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes.
- Press the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped rosemary into the surface of the dough.
- Drizzle a little bit more olive oil over the top and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Cover the dough lightly with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown and cooked through.
- If you tap the bottom of the bread, it should sound hollow.
- Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes.
- Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the focaccia into squares or desired shapes.
- Enjoy it warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or alongside your favorite soup or salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary and cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.
- Ensure your yeast is still active by proofing it in warm water with a bit of sugar before mixing it with other ingredients.
- Allowing the dough to rise properly will result in a lighter, airier focaccia.
- Use a generous amount of olive oil on top of the dough before baking to get a crispy, golden crust.
- Sprinkle some sea salt on top for added flavor and texture.
Tomato and rosemary focaccia is a versatile and flavorful bread that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
