Focaccia Genovese is the famous
focaccia from the port city of Genoa in Liguria, Italy. The
classic focaccia is usually left to rise for 12-14 hours, but not in my recipe!
This easy,
quick no-knead focaccia is ready to eat in only one hour including the
ingredients prep and baking time. It’s crispy on the outside, fluffy on the
inside, and amazingly delicious! You can enjoy it by itself, with antipasti, soup, salad, a glass of wine and even for
breakfast with coffee or espresso!
You can either top
your focaccia with traditional rosemary and sea salt, or other toppings of
your choice. I topped mine with roasted orange bell peppers, green olives
and fresh marjoram and thyme from my garden.
So, let’s get started
with the recipe, but first a simple prep tip: gather
and place focaccia ingredients, toppings, a large bowl, a
whisk, a mixing spoon and a baking pan on the kitchen counter.
This practical step will take no more than a few minutes, but
will accelerate your focaccia production greatly!
Ingredients:
3
Cups all-purpose flour
1 Packet Fleischmann's RapidRise yeast (do not use active dry yeast)
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 Tsp. sea salt
4 Tbsp. high quality olive oil
1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
1 ⅔ Cups very
warm water (120°-130°F)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Brush a 9×13-inch baking pan with one tbsp. olive oil and set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients and whisk until well
combined.
4. Add 2 tbsp. olive oil to the water, then add the mixture to the bowl with
dry ingredients, stir until they are well mixed and a dough is formed.
5. Transfer the dough into oiled baking pan, add one tbsp. olive oil on
the dough and stretch the dough to fit the pan. Next, dimple the dough
by pressing the pads of your first three fingers.
6. Place your toppings and bake for 35-40 minutes until it’s golden
brown, pulling away from the edges of the pan and the bottom is
crispy.
7. Cool slightly, slice and enjoy!
Happy Baking!
