Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil plus extra for drizzling
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- Cherry tomatoes
- Onion
- Rosemary sprigs
Instructions
- Add the oil, salt, flour, yeast, warm water, and sugar to a large mixing bowl.
- Mix with an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil, then place the dough inside. Press it down so it reaches the corners of the dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for 1 hour.
- Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Grease your fingers and dimple the dough all over.
- Arrange the rosemary sprigs into the shape of a Christmas tree, then add cherry tomatoes as ornaments.
- Peel and slice the onion, scattering the pieces across the dough. Arrange some slices into a star at the top of the tree.
- Place a slice of tomato at the base of the rosemary tree.
- Sprinkle with a little more salt if you want, and bake for 25 minutes until golden. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure your water is around 120°F. Too hot and you could kill the yeast; too cold and the dough won’t rise properly!
- Coat your fingers in oil so the dough doesn’t stick as you make divots.
- The focaccia dough can be sticky, so it helps to lay out your Christmas tree design on parchment paper first to see what it will look like.
