Ingredients
Scale
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups warm water (about 110°F)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup of your favorite jam (strawberry, raspberry, or cherry)
Optional: Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme)
Optional: Citrus zest (lemon or orange)
Optional: Powdered sugar for garnish
Optional: Coarse sea salt for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the frothy yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
On a floured surface, turn out your dough and knead it gently for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Place your kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Prepare an 11×17 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly with olive oil.
Gently punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto your prepared pan. Use your fingers to stretch it out to fit the pan.
Use your fingers to create little pockets all over the surface. Spoon the jam into those pockets.
Cover the pan with a towel again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough rises. Bake the focaccia for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Let the focaccia cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with powdered sugar or coarse salt for garnish.
Notes
A dreamy, golden-brown, pillowy treat that combines the nostalgia of jam-filled donuts with the delightful texture of focaccia. Perfect for sharing with coffee or as a dessert.
