Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup mixed berry jam (or your favorite jam)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it bloom for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Spread spoonfuls of jam evenly over the dough, then gently fold or roll the dough to enclose the jam.
- Transfer to a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Use your fingers to dimple the surface of the dough lightly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before dusting generously with powdered sugar and slicing to serve.
Notes
For a richer flavor, brush the focaccia with melted butter right after baking and try using different jam varieties like apricot or raspberry.
