Sea Salt Focaccia

Whipping up the dough for this light and airy focaccia is easy with the Breville Food Processor. It’s then stretched and proofed, before a stint in a hot oven. A golden crust and soft pillowy interior, sprinkled with sea salt and dappled with olive oil…this is a little bit of Mediterranean magic.

Instructions

  • 1Place the water, milk and 2 tablespoons oil in a liquid measuring cup and whisk to combine.
  • 2Assemble the processor with the grey spindle and blue dough blade in the bowl. Add the flour, yeast and kosher salt. With the processor on, add the wet ingredients through the feed chute and process for 1 minute.
    Tip: For best results don’t overprocess the dough.
  • 3Transfer the dough to a well-oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the oven on rack position 8. Set the oven to Proof, Convection, 100°F, for 30 minutes and press Start to proof.
    Tip: Recipe has been optimized for the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.
  • 4Working with the dough in the bowl, using wet hands, pull and stretch the dough from the side and fold over the top. Give the bowl a quarter turn and repeat stretching and folding 7 more times. Cover and return to the oven to proof for a further 30 minutes.
  • 5Repeat stretching and folding the dough 7 times. Cover and return to the oven to proof for a further 30 minutes.
  • 6Grease a 8-inch square baking pan with 2 tablespoons oil. Gently turn the dough out into the pan. Fold the dough over itself 2 times then turn to coat in oil. Cover the pan with an upturned pan, or loosely cover with plastic wrap. Move the wire rack to position 7. Place the pan in the oven and proof for 15 minutes.
  • 7Using oiled fingertips, poke and stretch the dough into the corners of the pan. Return to the oven, uncovered, to proof for a further 15 minutes.
  • 8Remove the dough from the oven. To preheat the oven, select Phase Cook for P1 and set the oven to Bake, Convection, 430°F, for 18 minutes. Press Phase Cook for P2, set the oven to Bake, Convection, 350°F, for 5 minute and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
  • 9Using oiled fingertips, poke and stretch the dough again into the corners of the pan. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • 10Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and bake the focaccia until golden and crisp.
  • 11Stand the focaccia in the pan for 5 minutes, before turning onto a rack. Serve warm or cool.
