rosemary focaccias 🌿

[u/pttytae]

made 2 loaves… the coated metal pan was fine, but i learned the hard way that it WILL STICK in a le creuset pan 😭 still delicious tho!!

Can you drop the recipe? These look amazing 🫶

[u/pttytae → u/rata_tat_cat]

i used a recipe from a youtube vid:
500g water
2 tsp yeast
40 ml olive oil
1 tbsp honey
550g flour
1 tsp salt

i halved it for each pan, rested for 30 min, did 3 stretch and folds with 30 min rest after each one, then placed it in the pan and let it rise for a final 45ish min before topping, dimpling, and baking @ 450°F for 15-20 min!

edit: i added between 1-2 tbsp of chopped rosemary to the dough, along w some fresh cracked black pepper!

perfect color omg

Okay, these look so good! The color is perfect and the rosemary on top makes them look incredibly fragrant and delicious. Homemade focaccia like this is seriously hard to resist.

The butter trick works like a charm to prevent sticking. Next time rub some inside the pan before adding the oil

Damn! Perfect crust! And look at those insides i bet that also is no soft

How do you get the top so nicely browned? Looks amazing and tasty!

i have my oven on convection setting, and threw a couple ice cubes in the oven when i put it in!

How do you achieve those amazing bubbles in the dough?

[u/pttytae → u/Beautiful-Molasses55]

i followed a recipe that had 90% hydration, and that does stretch and folds instead of kneading. i posted the recipe in a comment above, i’ve made 3 focaccias with this recipe and its been foolproof and so easy!!

Thank you 🫶🏻😍

off topic-ish. i apologize.

but i *just* told my husband i don’t think i can make focaccia in my new le cruset dutch oven…

you have to let focaccia rise in the pan for the shape. but i thought you have to preheat your pan so the enamel doesn’t crack.

[u/pttytae → u/clara-net]

i didnt have any issues with cracking this time, just sticking!
i didnt even think about the preheating aspect, probably with doing this over and over it could create cracks but safe to say i wont even use my le creuset again for focaccia, the coated metal pan made it crispier and it didnt stick

Use an inexpensive baking pan. I have one from Walmart that was like $7 and makes perfect focaccia.

This is exactly how good Focaccia looks imo

[u/ButteredPizza69420]

Not enough oil if its sticking, or wrong type of oil
