No Fuss No Knead Focaccia Recipe with walnuts, garlic and rosemary… simple and delicious
This No Fuss No Knead Focaccia Recipe with walnuts, garlic and rosemary is very very forgiving and very delicious too. I love the moistness it offers, the flour to water ratio baking up a beautiful crumb.
Ingredients
Focaccia
- 200 g all purpose flour {maida}
- 50 g bread flour {or use 250g all purpose flour}
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp yeast instant
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup water warm
- 6-8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
To top
- Walnut halves, sliced garlic, fresh rosemary, Maldon sea salt
Instructions
- Stir together in a bowl until all the water has been absorbed. Clingwrap the bowl and place it in the fridge overnight.
- Take the bowl out of the fridge and leave it at room temperature for an hour. Oil your hands before you handle the dough since it will will feel quite loose and hydrated.
- Add in a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, fresh chopped rosemary sprigs and fried garlic slices and gently fold the dough somewhat like you would fold sourdough. Repeat 3-4 times. Finally, bring into a ball, tucking the edges underneath.
- Line a 6" round baking tin with parchment and grease the sides with butter / ghee.
- Add a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to the base and place the dough in the tin, folded side underneath. Cover lightly with the clingwrap. Leave for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 210℃.
- Pour over another 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over the top and poke your fingertips across the surface to make deep indents all the way down.
- Drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil if desired, and top with roasted walnuts, fresh rosemary, sliced garlic and Maddon sea salt.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the focaccia is well risen and the top is light golden brown. Slide a sheet of foil over the top if the walnuts are getting too dark.
- Cool in tin for 30 minutes, then demold and cool.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
