How to Prepare Focaccia di Genova [Vegan]
- In a stand-in mixer bowl, combine sugar, yeast, and water and mix it all well.
- Pour in the flour and knead for 3 minutes.
- Stir in the salt while kneading.
- Then knead it for 10 minutes until it becomes a smooth, soft dough.
- Remove the dough ball on a greased baking sheet. Cover with parchment paper and place in an oven at 90°F for one hour.
- When the dough has doubled in volume, stretch it with your palms (while still on the baking sheet) so as to shape it.
- Sprinkle a few grains of fleur de sel and allow the dough to rise again in the oven at 90°F for 20 minutes.
- Work the dough very gently with the palms of your hands so that the oil gets everywhere and give the focaccia its final shape (still on the baking sheet).
- Let rise again for 10 minutes.
- Preheat convection oven to 400°F.
- Emulsify the water, olive oil, and the remaining salt.
- Poke a hole in the dough with your finger every couple inches and pour the emulsion on the dough, especially in the holes.
- Let it rise again for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the fresh herbs of your choice.
- Bake it for 15-20 minutes or until the top of the focaccia is golden brown.
