Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup fresh figs, sliced
- ¾ cup crumbled blue cheese
- Additional olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm water with active dry yeast. Let it sit for about five minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and sea salt. Gradually add in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until combined and knead until smooth.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about one hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, slice fresh figs and crumble blue cheese; set aside.
- Once risen, gently press the dough onto an oiled baking sheet to shape it. Create dimples using your fingers.
- Top generously with sliced figs and sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over everything. Drizzle with additional olive oil.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Let the focaccia rest for about 20 minutes while preheating.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
