Ingredients
Scale
- 1.75 cups warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 tsp sugar (optional)
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 2 cups bread flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 jar raspberry preserves (or any jam of choice)
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2–4 tbsp whole milk
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over it and let sit until frothy (5-10 minutes).
- In another bowl, whisk together bread flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir until combined and knead on a floured surface until smooth.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and transfer it to an oiled baking sheet; shape into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Create dimples on top of the dough with your fingers and brush remaining olive oil over it. Cover again with plastic wrap; let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for about 22 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before making cuts in desired sections and filling each with raspberry preserves.
- Mix confectioners’ sugar with whole milk until smooth for glazing; drizzle over focaccia before serving.
