Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
  • ½ tsp salt

Toppings

  • ½ cup favorite jam or preserves (raspberry, strawberry, apricot, or mixed berry)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional Variations and Garnishes

  • Coarse sugar, sliced almonds, or cinnamon for sprinkling
  • Plant-based milk (for vegan egg wash alternative)
  • Additional fillings like cream cheese or Nutella

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and melt the butter, letting both cool slightly to avoid killing the yeast. In a bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, yeast, and sugar until bubbly. In a separate large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the wet mixture to the flour and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  2. Shape the Focaccia Base: After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and roll it out on a parchment-lined baking sheet into a rectangle or circle about ½ inch thick. Use your fingers to press dimples into the dough, mimicking traditional focaccia texture.
  3. Add the Jam: Spoon generous amounts of your favorite jam evenly over the dough. Press the jam slightly into the dimples to create wells that hold the jam and prevent it from running off.
  4. Apply the Egg Wash: Beat the egg lightly and brush it over the exposed edges of the dough to help achieve a golden, shiny crust and to make sure the jam sticks well during baking. For a vegan version, substitute egg wash with almond milk or a mix of maple syrup and water applied similarly.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes until the dough is cooked through, golden on the edges, and the jam is bubbly and set. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure liquids are warm, not hot, to protect yeast activity.
  • Do not overload with jam to prevent soggy dough.
  • Use fresh yeast for best rise and fluffy texture.
  • Press dimples deeply to create stable wells for jam.
  • Allow focaccia to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
