Equipment

  • 6 4" cocottes or mini 4" cake tins

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 5 springs fresh rosemary
  • zest of 2 oranges
  • 360 g bread flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 7 g active dry yeast 1 package
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 ¼ cup warm water 85-105°F
  • Flaky/coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a small saucepan with 4 springs of rosemary and orange zest. Simmer on low for 10 minutes to create an infused oil. Strain and set aside to cool.
    3/4 cup olive oil, 5 springs fresh rosemary, zest of 2 oranges
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, place bread flour, salt, yeast, honey, 1 1/2 tbsp infused olive oil, and water.
    360 g bread flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 7 g active dry yeast, 2 teaspoon honey, 1 1/4 cup warm water
  • Mix on low for 1 minute, then on medium for 4 minutes.
  • Transfer to a greased bowl and cover with a clean towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Stretch and fold the dough with the following process: grab one edge of the dough, stretch is away from the ball, then fold over the top of the remaining dough. Rotate bowl 90° and repeat the process three times so each side of the dough has been stretched out and folded onto itself.
  • Cover and let rest for 20 minutes. Repeat the stretch and fold process above. Cover and let rest for 20 more minutes.
  • While dough is resting, prepare 6 pans about 4" wide by spraying liberally with non-stick spray, and place 1/2 tbsp. of infused oil in the bottom of each pan.
  • Once dough has rested, turn out onto greased surface. Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Gather into a ball and place into each prepared pan. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Using greased fingertips, dimple and stretch the dough to the edges of the pan. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp. of infused oil on top with course/flaky sea salt and a few leaves of rosemary.
    Flaky/coarse sea salt
  • Cover and let rise 35-45 minutes until puffy.
  • While dough is rising, preheat oven to 425°F. Once dough has risen, bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Immediately spoon 1/2 tbsp. on top of baked focaccia after removing from the oven.
