Rosemary tray focaccia

What to notice at each stage

1. 01

   Mix

   Stir flour, water, yeast, salt and dough oil until no dry patches remain. The dough will be much wetter than a kneaded sandwich loaf.

2. 02

   Fold

   Give the dough a few gentle folds during its early rise. Let it relax between folds; wet hands help reduce sticking.

3. 03

   Tray

   Oil the tray thoroughly, ease the dough into it and allow it to relax toward the corners. Add topping oil, rosemary and a light touch of salt.

4. 04

   Dimple & bake

   When the dough is puffy, dimple with oiled fingertips and bake in your familiar oven until the top and base are well coloured. Cool on a rack.
