Golden, airy focaccia squares drizzled with rich olive oil and topped with flaky sea salt, baked to perfection with a soft interior and lightly crisp crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all purpose flour, about 500 grams
  • 1 3/4 cups warm water, about 420 milliliters
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, one packet
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, about 4 grams
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, about 60 milliliters, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius and lightly grease a rectangular baking pan with olive oil.
  2. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and gently press to fill evenly.
  6. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
  7. Use your fingertips to press dimples all over the surface. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before cutting into 12 even squares and serving.

Notes

  • Use good quality olive oil for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not rush the rising time, it helps create the airy crumb.
  • Let the focaccia cool slightly before slicing for clean squares.
