Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Vital wheat gluten
- 50 grams Chickpea flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 300 ml Warm water
- 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, chickpea flour, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, 30 ml of olive oil, honey, and salt until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Return the dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread 15 ml of olive oil evenly over the sheet.
Gently deflate the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingers, press the dough out to fit the sheet, dimpling it with your fingers as you go.
Brush the top with the remaining 15 ml of olive oil and sprinkle with fresh rosemary and coarse sea salt.
Let the dough rest for an additional 20 minutes while the oven continues to preheat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the focaccia is golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before cutting into pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
