Michael's Quick Focaccia
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Instructions
1
Combine honey and warm water in a large bowl, then sprinkle yeast over the surface. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, permitting the yeast to soften and begin to bubble. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, onions, and 5 cups of flour to the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough. Knead on a well-floured surface for 5 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
2
Next, lightly anoint a large bowl with oil, then place the dough inside and turn it to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm environment until it has doubled in size, approximately 20 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F (215 degrees C).
4
Transfer the dough onto an oiled baking sheet, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. Use your fingertips to create small indentations all over the dough, spaced about 1 inch apart. Drizzle the focaccia with 3 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle rosemary, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of kosher salt over the top.
5
Finally, bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color.
