Ingredients

  • 2 cup All‑purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil (extra‑virgin)
  • 3/4 cup Warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh herbs (oregano & basil) (chopped)
  • 1 pinch Sea salt flakes (to finish)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients

    In the large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Add wet ingredients and form dough

    Make a well in the center, pour in the warm water and olive oil, then stir with the whisk until a shaggy dough forms. Do not knead; the dough should be slightly sticky.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Rest the dough

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. This hydrates the flour and eliminates the need for kneading.

    Time: PT10M

  4. Preheat oven

    While the dough rests, place the baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C).

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 425°F

  5. Prepare toppings

    Slice olives, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, crumble the feta, and chop the fresh herbs.

    Time: PT10M

  6. Shape the focaccia

    Line the hot baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the rested dough onto the parchment and, using wet fingertips, gently stretch it to a 12‑inch rectangle. Dimple the surface with your fingertips and drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top.

    Time: PT5M

  7. Add toppings and season

    Evenly scatter the olives, tomatoes, onion slices, and crumbled feta over the dough. Sprinkle a pinch of sea‑salt flakes and the chopped herbs.

    Time: PT2M

  8. Bake

    Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden‑brown and the top is crisp.

    Time: PT25M

    Temperature: 425°F

  9. Cool and serve

    Remove the focaccia from the oven, let it rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board, slice, and serve warm.

    Time: PT5M

Critical Success Points

  • Mix dry ingredients and add wet ingredients without over‑mixing; the dough should remain slightly sticky.
  • Dimple the dough with wet fingertips to create the classic focaccia texture.
  • Bake until the crust is golden and crisp; under‑baking leads to a soggy interior.

Safety Warnings

  • The oven and baking sheet become extremely hot; use oven mitts when handling.
  • Sharp knives are used for slicing toppings; cut away from your body.
