Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (natural)

Topping Ingredients

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan (plant-based), finely grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and sea salt. Add the yeast mixture and extra virgin olive oil (natural). Stir until a sticky dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Shape the Focaccia: Transfer the risen dough to a generously oiled baking pan. Press the dough evenly with your fingers, creating dimples across the surface characteristic of focaccia.
  5. Add the Garlic Parmesan Topping: Mix minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), extra virgin olive oil (natural), chopped rosemary, and plant-based Parmesan (plant-based). Drizzle and spread this mixture evenly over the dough’s surface.
  6. Second Rise and Bake: Let the dough rest and rise for an additional 30-40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes until the focaccia is golden and crispy on top.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively.
  • Pressing dimples into the dough allows oil and toppings to settle and enhances flavor.
  • Allow the dough plenty of time to rest for the best texture.
  • Use generous amounts of olive oil to keep crust crispy and crumb moist.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs to customize flavor according to your preference.
