    Nobody EVER puts enough oil on. Culinary school instructor, baking Foccacia - "If it feels like you've put too much oil on it, good. Now add some more." That's why John's Foccacia was "ciabatta-like." It shouldn't have been - but he skipped the proper olive oil bath prior to hitting the oven.
    (After poking holes and adding herbs, etc, prior to the oven, add enough oil that you can see it pooling in the holes and starting to come up the sides of the dough. You'll end up with the butteriest foccacia known to man.)

    Focaccia with olives and onions, and a sprinkle of oregano is my favorite.
    You can even make a NY Sicilian style pizza with this dough. Just add a little tomato sauce before baking. In the last 5-10 minutes add your mozzarella on top and melt it in the oven.

  • @hristiyankolev9228
    @hristiyankolev9228 Před rokem +421

    Good recipe and dough shaping but here's some constructive criticism: Your rosemary will lose MOST of its aroma if you bake it like this. Take a small vessel add olive oil and drown the rosemary in the oil for 10 minutes. Then use your fingers or a tiny spoon to spread it on top. The amazing smells will transfer into the oil and give the dough underneath a wonderful flavor instead of evaporating away.

    I was in the Italian alps and there was a focaccia truck on the side of the road with a little oven. The dough was almost like thick pancake batter. The baker poured it into the tray. It was really good, trying this tomorrow.

    The dimples on the top are made so you can fill them with 50-50 olive oil water mixture, if you don't pour that in before baking(like this recipe) then they aren't necessary, though I would definitely recommend pour some amount of that on, it really make the flavour stronger
