Description

This versatile dough recipe serves as the foundation for both rustic focaccia bread and delicious homemade pizza. Enriched with olive oil and salad oil, it yields a tender crumb with a satisfying chew and a subtle garlic aroma. The high hydration and double rise ensure a light, airy texture that crisps beautifully in the oven. Ideal for weekend brunches or casual weeknight dinners, this dough is forgiving and easy to handle, making it perfect for bakers of all skill levels. Whether you prefer it topped with fresh herbs and sea salt or loaded with your favorite pizza toppings, this recipe delivers authentic Italian flavor with every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the tepid water in a large mixing bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the sugar, olive oil, salad oil, and salt.
  3. Add 3 cups of the flour and mix with a mixer on low speed until the dough begins to leave the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes.
  4. Knead in the remaining flour by hand or with a dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Punch down the dough, cover, and let rise again until doubled, about 1 hour.
  7. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and divide into two equal portions.
  8. Roll each portion into a round or rectangular shape suitable for your baking sheet or pizza tray.
  9. Rub the surface of the dough with the cut sides of the garlic cloves.
  10. Add desired toppings if making pizza, or dimple with fingers and sprinkle with salt and herbs for focaccia.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven at 450 degrees F (232&# 194;°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
