Rosemary Citrus Focaccia Bread

Rosemary foccacia bread with whipped lemon honey.

Overview


Focaccia is one of the easiest homemade breads to make, with less fuss and time than a traditional loaf. Olive oil gives it a rich, tender texture, while honey and a sprinkle of sea salt add the perfect touch of sweet and savory flavor. Enjoy it warm from the oven, or use it to take your favorite sandwich to the next level.

Instructions


  1. Proof Yeast: Whisk together water and tablespoon of honey in the bowl of an electric mixer.  Sprinkle the yeast over the top, whisk it in and let sit for 5-10 minutes, until foamy. 
  2. Place the bowl onto the mixer fitted with the dough attachment.  Add the flour, kosher salt, and ¼ cup olive oil.  Turn the mixer on low until the dough comes together.  Turn up to medium and knead for 5 minutes.  If dough does not pull away from the sides, add more flour one tablespoon at a time. 
  3. Remove dough, spray the mixing bowl with pan spray and place back in.  Cover with a damp towel and let rise for one hour, until about doubled in size. 
  4. Once dough has doubled, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.   
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a baking sheet and spread around to cover.  Place dough on the sheet and spread into a rectangle that is about ½ inch thick.  Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes while the oven preheats. 
  6. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the dough and add chopped rosemary and sprinkle with sea salt.  Using your fingers, gently press into the bread, creating small divots throughout.   
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. 
  8. Gently stir Whipped Honey and spread over the bread while it is still hot.  Serve warm.
