Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1.75 cups Warm Water (105-115°F)
- 2 tsp Sugar (optional if using instant yeast)
- 1 packet Active Dry Yeast (ensure it’s fresh and bubbly)
- 2 cups Bread Flour (can substitute with all-purpose flour)
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Salt
- 6 tbsp Olive Oil (divided)
Toppings and Glaze:
- 1 jar Raspberry Preserves (can swap with other jams)
- 2 cups Confectioners’ Sugar
- 2–4 tbsp Whole Milk (as needed)
Instructions
- Preparation Steps – In a small bowl, combine warm water with sugar and then sprinkle the active dry yeast over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Dough Preparation – In a stand mixer bowl, combine the yeast mixture with bread flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix on low speed until a sticky dough forms.
- First Rise – Grease a large bowl with olive oil, transfer the dough into it, and cover with a towel. Let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Assembly – Grease a 9×13 baking pan with olive oil. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and move it into the prepared pan. Fold to coat with oil, then cover loosely and let rise for 1 hour.
- Baking – Preheat the oven to 425°F while the dough is rising. After the second rise, poke deep holes into the dough and spread raspberry preserves over it, allowing some to seep into the holes. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
- Glazing – Remove from oven and add more preserves if desired. Mix confectioners’ sugar with milk until desired glaze consistency is reached. Once focaccia has cooled slightly, spread glaze over the top.
- Serving – Cut into squares and serve fresh for the best experience.
