List of Ingredients
4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
2 1/4 cups warm water
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup sun dried tomato, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1/2 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast, and let sit for 5 minutes. When the yeast is bubbly, add a cup of the flour and the salt, and stir. Mixture should be smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the olive oil, fresh herbs, sun dried tomato and feta to the water and flour mixture. Stir using a wooden spoon. Add the rest of the flour while stirring. Dough should be slightly sticky and wet. Do not knead the dough.
In a separate greased mixing bowl (grease mixing bowl with extra virgin olive oil), place dough and cover with plastic wrap. Put dough in a warm area in your kitchen and let rise until double, about an hour. Punch down dough after it has risen.
Put dough on a greased sheet pan (greased with extra virgin olive oil) and let the dough rise for thirty minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle top of dough with sea salt and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. When finished baking, let focaccia cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Garnish & Presentation:
Cut focaccia into 1 1/2 inch squares. Serve on a round platter garnished with fresh tomato and crumbled feta with a side of herbed olive oil.
