This is my recipe for an easy-to-make vegan foccacia. Based on an almagamation of several other recipes, I've taken the best/easiest bits to produce this.
Note: Recommend eating the same day as baking. My experience is that this doesn't hold up the next day (unless toasted).
Ingredients
1 1/3 cup warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
1 package active-dry yeast
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 teaspoons flaked sea salt
2 sprigs fresh or 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
sea salt
Method
Add warm water and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough attachment, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water. Give the yeast a quick stir to mix it in with the water. Then let it sit for 5-10 minute until the yeast is foamy.
Turn the mixer onto low speed, and add gradually flour, olive oil and salt. Increase speed to medium-low, and continue mixing the dough for 5 minutes.Remove dough from the mixing bowl, and use your hands to shape it into a ball.
Grease the mixing bowl (or a separate bowl) with olive oil or cooking spray, then place the dough ball back in the bowl and cover it with a damp towel. Place in a warm location (I set mine by the window) and let it rise for 45-60 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 200°C. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll it out into a large circle or rectangle until that the dough is about 1/2-inch thick. Cover the dough with a greased piece of plastic wrap, and let the dough continue to rise for another 20 minutes.
Remove the plastic wrap, and transfer the dough to a large baking sheet. Use your fingers to poke deep dents all over the surface of the dough. Then drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil evenly all over the top of the dough, and sprinkle evenly with the fresh rosemary needles and sea salt. As an alternative, I sprinkle generously with Garlic Lovers' Spice - Gewürzhaus
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the dough is slightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired.Slice, and serve warm.
