Instructions
Creating Jam Donut Focaccia is a rewarding process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
7. Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the baking sheet. Stretch it out to fit the shape of the pan.
8. Create Indentations: Use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface of the dough.
9. Add Jam: Spoon dollops of jam into each dimple, spreading it slightly if desired.
10. Second Rise: Cover the dough again and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.
11. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
12. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
13. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes.
14. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
With these straightforward steps, you will create a delicious and unique Jam Donut Focaccia that everyone will love!
