Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for the pan
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in flour, salt, and 1/4 cup olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly oil the same bowl, place dough in it, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough. Divide into two equal pieces.
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Press one piece of dough into the skillet, forming a disc.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder over the dough.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and cooked through.
- Carefully flip the focaccia and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from skillet and let cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the second piece of dough and remaining toppings.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure your water temperature is correct for yeast activation.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook focaccia in batches.
- Adjust cooking time as needed based on your stove and pan.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
