  • Perforated Baking Tray
  • Small Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 500gm Plain Flour
  • 325gm Water
  • 7gm Instant Dried Yeast
  • 5gm Sea Salt + Extra
  • 1 Desiree Potato
  • 1 Sprig Rosemary
  • 4 Garlic Cloves

METHOD

Place flour, yeast and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Turn the mixer on to low speed and add the water, continue mixing on medium speed for a further 8-10 minutes.

Once mixed remove the bowl from the mixer and the dough from the bowl, knead the dough on a floured work surface for 8-10 minutes and return the dough to the bowl. Place the bowl into a pre-heated oven steam setting 40°C for 30 minutes.

While the dough proves remove the leaves from the rosemary and place into a small mixing bowl with crushed garlic cloves, chilli and a generous amount of olive oil, mix together and set aside.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and remove dough from the oven. Briefly knead the dough and flatten out the dough into a large oval shape on the baking tray. Return the dough to the oven to prove for a further 15 minutes steam setting 40°C.

Once the dough has proved again remove from the oven and change the oven setting to combi mode (25%) steam 200°C. Make small divots all over the dough with your fingertips.
Finely slice the potato and scatter it over the dough, spoon over the rosemary oil mix and add a little extra salt on top. Place in the oven for 25-35 minutes until golden brown.

Once cooked remove and cool slightly on a cake rack.

HINTS & TIPS

Focaccia is a great addition to any antipasti platter, for extra texture add some mozzarella cheese.

The dimples or divots in the dough are designed to catch the olive oil and enhance the crust on the finished product.
