Ingredients
Scale
Focaccia Dough
- 1½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Topping
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch baking pan evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, coating both the bottom and sides.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and plain Greek yogurt using a sturdy or rubber spatula until a sticky dough ball forms, ensuring the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape Dough: Form the dough into a ball, then press it evenly into the prepared baking pan to spread it out uniformly across the base.
- Create Dimples and Add Oil: Use your fingers to dimple the surface gently and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top to add flavor and help create a beautiful crust.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the dried rosemary and sea salt evenly over the surface of the dough for aroma and seasoning.
- Bake: Place the pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges begin to pull away from the pan.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow it to set properly.
Notes
- Using self-rising flour eliminates the need for additional leavening agents like baking powder.
- Ensure the yogurt is plain and Greek-style for the best texture and protein content.
- You can add other herbs such as thyme or oregano according to preference.
- Serve warm with olive oil or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
