A FOCCACCIA YOU CAN'T STOP EATING.

There may be no going back to normal focaccia once you’ve tried this butter focaccia….. it’s like eating a salty croissant tasting focaccia (not sweet) - made with butter instead of olive oil.

Start 3 hours before you want to eat it.

• 400 g Pizza Mix
• 400 g cold water
• 16 g sugar
• 100 g frozen butter (but you only need 85 g)
• 16 g salt (we use half fine salt + half salt flakes)
• 20 g fresh yeast 

+ Melted butter for the pan and to ”top” the focaccia
+ Extra salt (flakes) to sprinkle on the focaccia

Measure up the butter and put in the freezer - at least 30 minutes before (preferably much earlier).

Mix water and sugar and stir to dissolve (this will take a few minutes). Add the yeast, stir and dissolve.

Pour all the flour mix into a mixing bowl.

Take out the butter from the freezer, and grate it (biggest holes). You only need 85 grams, so the extra 15 grams is just so there’s something to hold onto.

Pour the grated butter into the flour and with your hands mix it together making the butter all crumbly. It’ll almost ”disappear” into the flour.

Pour in the water/yeast/sugar mix and with a spatula mix together with speed until you have a smooth dough.

Add in the salt (flakes) and do a final mix.

We bake our focaccia directly in a baking pan (that is treated. Or else bake in baking paper/greaseproof paper). Melt some butter. You can make a normal/big focaccia in a big pan, or 8 or even 16 smaller dinner sizes if you have such a pan. Brush the chosen pan with melted butter, and place the dough into the pan, pushing it down flat to all the sides.

Leave to proof for two hours in room temp. Turn on the oven at 220 degrees celsius one hour before baking.

Once ready to bake, pour over more melted (but not hot) butter on top of the focaccia, make the dimples with your fingers, and then sprinkle with salt flakes.

Bake for 15 minutes, turn the pan halfway around and bake for another 10 minutes.

Take out the focaccia from the oven, and then the pan. Place on a grate to cool down for about 30 minutes. Enjoy
