First time Focaccia.. i dont bake but now im obsessed with figuring it out. Help lol
Im not great at baking but what i dont have in skill i make up for with enthusiasm. I tried a recipe i found online and cant get it to turn out how its "meant" to..
280gs flour (ap)
240gs lukewarm water
1 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
• mix yeast, sugar & water/ then add flour/ mix
• add salt & olive oil then fold (until you cant fold it anymore)
• cover and set aside for 2 hours
• at 30 mins to go preheat oven and pan at 230°\gas mark 8
• lightly flour parchment. divide into 4/ place on parchement
• drizzle with olive oil, gently shape and poke
• add a little corse salt & thyme
• slide onto preheated pan and bake for 20-30 mins
theyre cooked through and delicious but too flat. the video with the recipe shows very light airy bun texture.
(im in ireland)
any critique/ help is very welcome!!
