  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
– 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
– 1 cup garlic scapes, chopped
– 1 cup spring onions, chopped
– Coarse sea salt (for topping)
– Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
– Optional: Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for added flavor


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Garlic Scape & Spring Onion Focaccia:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Combine: Stir the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare Fillings: While the dough rises, chop the garlic scapes and spring onions.
7. Shape the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pan. Use your fingers to stretch and press the dough into the pan.
8. Add Fillings: Spread the chopped garlic scapes and spring onions evenly over the top of the dough, pressing them in gently.
9. Second Rise: Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
10. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
11. Create Dents: After the second rise, use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface of the dough.
12. Season: Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
13. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
14. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
