"The golden focaccia with rosemary, fleur de sel, and lemon zest is a classic of high-hydration Italian baking, which displays a surface full of airy dimples soaked in extra virgin olive oil. The combination of rosemary's resinous notes with the citrus touch of the zest confers an elegant and fresh aromatic profile."
- The 70% hydration with warm water builds a malleable dough full of alveolated air bubbles. - The folding method with oiled hands replaces heavy kneading, developing light, elastic gluten. - Creating dimples with your fingertips traps the olive oil and sea salt, generating golden crunchiness in the oven at 220°C.
In a large bowl, mix the warm water with the yeast and a pinch of sugar (optional, to activate). Let rest for 5 minutes until it foams. The short answer is: Activate the yeast in the water.
Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Start mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms. The secret to this recipe is not to over-knead at this stage, just incorporate the ingredients well. It must be very moist.
Add 30ml of olive oil to the dough. With wet or oil-greased hands, start folding the dough over itself, pulling the edges and bringing them to the center. Repeat this process for about 5 minutes. The professional technique is to create tension in the dough without kneading vigorously.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it ferment in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in volume. The most important tip is to observe the volume, not just the time, as it can vary with room temperature.
Prepare a baking dish (approx. 30x20cm) greasing generously with the remaining 30ml of olive oil. Transfer the batter to the baking sheet and gently spread it with your fingertips, without forcing it, until it covers the bottom. The most common mistake is stretching the dough too much, tearing it.
Make dimples on the surface of the dough with your fingers. Spread the fresh rosemary sprigs, sea salt, and lemon zest over the focaccia. Cover again and let ferment for another 30-45 minutes. In simple terms: prepare the focaccia for the oven and add flavor.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (high temperature). Take the focaccia to the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden and crunchy on the edges. Remove from the oven and, if desired, drizzle with an extra thread of olive oil before serving. The secret is a very hot oven for the crust.
Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack to cool completely or serve while still warm. A fresh focaccia is always the best experience. The short answer is: Serve hot and enjoy the freshness.

High hydration is essential to form the aerated texture with large air pockets in the crumb after baking.
Moisten the rosemary sprigs in olive oil before placing them on the focaccia and push them gently into the cavities.
Yes, slow fermentation in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours deepens the bread's flavor and generates even more spectacular bubbles.
