Sometimes I stop and wonder \"what would life be without good carbs and good fats?\" <\/em>
I am serious, I love them too much.
And from now on, I am sure you'll say \"What would life be without this focaccia recipe?\"<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They're actually mini focaccias but you can make a big one too. It's so good, crunchy on the outside but soft like a pillow inside.
Ready to try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EASY<\/span> to make focaccia recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making focaccia and yeast leavened recipes in general takes a bit of time. We already have to suffer because it's not ready in minutes, so at least let's make sure it's easy to make, right?! You just need to knead-proof a couple of times-bake<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yes, this Italian focaccia recipe with olives is easy. Yes, even if you don't have a stand mixer. Let's see the basic steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the dough,<\/strong> give it some love!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I know many people think the preparation of a dough can be a bit boring, especially if you knead by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think it's the most important phase, the one in which you give love to the dough <\/strong>and yes, I firmly believe that it can \"feel\" it;)
Whenever I \"mistreat\" my dough or don't have enough patience, result is not the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So first step is placing bread flour<\/span><\/strong> and durum wheat semolina<\/span><\/strong> flour (it's called farina di semola rimacinata<\/em> here in Italy), into the large bowl of a stand mixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: if using active dry<\/span><\/strong> yeast<\/span><\/strong>, combine it with 1.5 cups lukewarm water<\/span><\/strong> and a teaspoon of sugar. Let proof until bubbly, then add yeast mixture to flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If using instant yeast<\/span><\/strong> instead you can immediately add it to the flour. Then combine water and activate your stand mixer to low speed (or start kneading by hand).
I usually begin with the flat attachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a minute or so, add salt and, when incorporated, also add extra-virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
