Description

A deeply flavorful, bubbly, and crispy sourdough foccacia recipe that uses a long cold ferment for the best texture and taste.


Ingredients

Scale

100g active sourdough starter (fed and bubbly)
375g warm water
500g bread flour
10g sea salt
50g extra virgin olive oil (divided)
Flaky sea salt for topping
Fresh rosemary sprigs


Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the active sourdough starter and warm water until mostly dissolved.
Step 2: Add the bread flour and sea salt to the water mixture, stirring with a spatula until no dry streaks of flour remain.
Step 3: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes for the autolyse phase.
Step 4: Perform a set of stretch and folds by pulling the edge of the dough up and over itself, rotating the bowl 90 degrees each time for a total of four folds. Repeat this every 30 minutes for a total of 2 hours.
Step 5: Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours to undergo a cold ferment.
Step 6: Generously coat a 9x13 inch metal baking pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Gently transfer the cold dough into the pan, flipping it once to coat in oil.
Step 7: Let the dough proof in a warm spot for 2 to 4 hours until it has filled the pan and looks very bubbly.
Step 8: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of the dough.
Step 9: Using oiled fingertips, press straight down into the dough to create deep dimples all over the surface.
Step 10: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh rosemary. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and the bottom is crispy.
Step 11: Remove from the pan immediately and let cool on a wire rack to maintain the crispy crust.

Notes

Ensure your starter is at its absolute peak before mixing for the best bubbles. A metal pan produces a crispier bottom than glass or ceramic.
