How to Make FOCACCIA BREAD Like an Award Winning Pizza Chef

[@vincenzosplate]

So lucky to have Lucio back on the channel. What do you want Lucio to make for you?

[@carrieullrich5059]

Hey, Vincenzo...Please make a video on how to make Neapolitan style pizza with All-purpose flour. I know using All-purpose flour is not the traditional way....but it is very expensive here.

[@justynamoleda7564]

​@@vincenzosplate, please make a correct, there is a mistake in the main text, in description of the video - you have now 50 g of salt, people said in comments that should be 15 g. I have dough in my refrigirator with 50g of salt, so probably I will throw it away. 😢😢😢

[@casperrealov]

I remember my Great Grandmother, Lucia, made this for us over 50 years ago in New York. I haven't seen it since then. Watching this video, I can actually smell it. Olives, onions ... I think she might have used a Feta cheese or some type of cheese. Lots of oil. We would wrap it in aluminum and eat it cold from the refrigerator. Treasured memories. I must try this recipe. Thank You!!

I made this over the weekend. WOW. Delicious. Maybe the best bread I've ever had. ❤

[@youkenez]

Not only the salt is 15g (not 50g), the baking tray is 30x40 cm (not 30x40 inches, it's 12 x 16 inches). As he says, it's 1 g dough per square cm which is 0.23 oz per square inch.

[@ElCamelloLocoO]

The dimensions of the tray for this recipe mentioned by Lucio are in centimeters not inches, 30 cm x 40 cm, so it's about 1 gram of dough per centimeter square as explained at the end of the video (total of 1.2 Kg). Thank you for the video, I will try this recipe tomorrow 🌻

[@stephen6739]

Thank you this was very confusing because the maths would not work and 1g per square inch would be thin and crispy pizza

[@TristanFaransa]

I was about to write the same. We would have noticed if the tray was 1 meter long :)

[@themuleify]

Right. 700g of flour he used in this recipe should go into a 24x30 cm tray

[@yeahnahsweetas]

He said 1g of DOUGH per square cm, not 1g of flour. He had 1200g of dough so that fits into a 30x40 cm tin​@@themuleify

[@themuleify]

​@@yeahnahsweetascorrect which is done with 700gr of flour. However to use the tray he used if it's really 30 by 40cm it would be a thin focaccia, whereas if you use the size I mentioned, it would be a lot thicker and airy...

[@VerhoevenSimon]

That looks delicious! And to answer his remark: thin/thick/crunchy/soft I love all the varieties.

[@rickbooher8224]

Focaccia is such a versatile bread. I seen focaccia used like a canvas to make pictures using herbs and vegetables. But you can enjoy it plain with olive oil and a few herbs dipping the bread into the oil mixture. Or make it like a wonder pizza dough substitute a little tomato or white sauce and cheese with basil and oregano. I like also to slice a plain focaccia through the middle and make sandwiches with it. It has to be the most versatile bread you can make for so many make ways the mind only has to imagen. Thank you Vincenzo’s and Lucio for this beautiful focaccia recipe. Always a pleasure to watch a professional like Lucio and yourself make beautiful tasty Italian food, you make it look so easy. Thank you again.

[@vincenzosplate]

You've perfectly captured the versatility and beauty of focaccia! 🍞🌿 It's like a culinary canvas indeed, and your creativity in using it is inspiring. Grazie for your kind words, and I'm delighted you enjoy watching and cooking along with us. Buon appetito, and keep savoring those delicious creations! 🇮🇹👨‍🍳😊

[@mcrowson5276]

What size sheet pan is this, please.

[@rickbooher8224]

@@mcrowson5276 it what ever size you choose from a full sheet pan which are use In big ovens to a half that fits the oven in your stove to a quarter size, you just have to adjust the size of you composition. But to answer you question I would say it is a half sheet one the can easily go in your standard home oven. I have cook the in a 13x9 casserole pan and in cast iron both has produce great results as well. But I would spread much oil on it to keep the focaccia from sticking. I did one once that I forgot the dough of focaccia would soak up some and didn't put enough oil on the sheet pan and it stuck to the pan, with much effort we got the focaccia to release from the pan but there were some pieces left on it, which I had to soak the pan and scrub it to remove and clean the pan. However the focaccia was still tasty and soft in the middle, just missing a few pieces off the bottom. I would highly recommend making a few focaccias so you can accomplish the skill to make a focaccia, then begin to create works of art. By practicing and adding toppings you may use you will understand how the cook them so they don't burn but yet cook them through, they knowing how to cook them proceeded to the decorating them as works of art. A focaccia is still with basic topping of coarse salt, olive oil, rosemary, and olives and makes a great presentation. But a plain focaccia make with olive oil and coarse salt sprinkle over the top makes a great focaccia for sandwiches. I have done it also with everything bagel seasoning and olive oil that was fantastic. Much like the pizza the focaccia is a canvas that one can create his own work of art through the seasoning or as these works of art in representation of nature. Good baking and I hope you can accomplish making you favorite focaccia to share with others.

[@izzy9132]

Grazie ragazzi, Where I live in the southern region of the USA no Italians ever migrated here so Focaccia never became popular. As my only bakery making Frocaccia closed so I must make my own. Your instructions are most helpful. Haven't baked bread in 35 years. No warm proofing great, 3 rises explains the puffy dough. I know this will be great. Arrivederci.

[@benf6822]

I like mine that thick and fluffy but a little crispier on the top so at the end of baking I move it close to the heat to finish. My favourite topping is roasted garlic and rosemary but the combo here is stunning and classic

[@vincenzosplate]

I like your thinking, fellow bread-lover. I agree that a thick and fluffy loaf with a crispy top is the perfect balance. And roasted garlic and rosemary is a classic combination for a reason. But I'm also a big fan of this tomato bruschetta topping. It's so simple, yet so flavorful.

[@MicroBugs]

Vincenzo, you are the best! I made sourdough focaccia today and I'm in love!

[@vincenzosplate]

Woah that's amazing! Isn't the aroma and taste just irresistible? I'm happy you were able to recreate Focaccia, it's such a warm and hearty dish, fit for the season.

[@MicroBugs]

@@vincenzosplate I really regret waiting so long to try my first focaccia. I've been baking sourdough bread for a few years, but I was hesitant to make focaccia because it seemed a bit complicated. After trying it for the first time, I fell in love with its taste, and now I'm eager to try other toppings. I don't know what the one with yeast tastes like, but this sourdough version with almost 24 hours of fermentation is amazing. I want to thank you for your recipes in general; it's clear that you make them with love and care for each ingredient. That's how I am too-I treat food like someone dear to me. It's an art, and you've helped me discover new and simple flavors. I'm vegan, but that hasn't stopped me from adapting and understanding the foundation of some recipes. I've learned a lot from you.

[@Pichouette]

I forgot about focaccia. I think I'll have to try making it this weekend. Does the type of yeast matter? I have dry yeast from Israel that makes my bread taste different (and much better) than just regular store bought yeast

[@vincenzosplate]

The type of yeast you use can make a difference in the flavor and texture of your focaccia. Some people prefer to use active dry yeast, while others prefer to use instant yeast.

[@gregsavchuk3239]

Well done gentlemen! Been making my own Focaccia for a while now, but alway interested in learning & using different techniques/procedures... Thx!

You are absolutely right Lynn! I believe you need more patience in making Focaccia than pizza

[@lynncactus5885]

@@vincenzosplate I definitely am going to try this, but first need to find the right flour, where can I find this particular flour in the US?

[@arthurprs]

I believe the salt in the recipe is 15g (not 50g, which is wayyy to high), about ~2.1% in bakers percentage.

[@MrBallyhoo62]

I think you are right. I tried the recipe without thinking about that and the dough wasn´t doubling in size. The yeast was killed by the salt. The focaccia was flat and too hard.

Is the salt measurement correct? Isn't 50grams of salt too much for 1.2 kg of dough? I am asking because if it was for pizza we would put around 20 grams. Also the pan's dimensions mentioned probably are 30x40 in centimeters. Other than that, thank you for the wonderful recipe!

[@frmov9237]

It must be 15 grams. I guess it was a mispronunciation by the chef. I tried with 50 even thinking that it didn't seem like ok and the resulting dough was inedible.

However, next time less. Still salty. Thanks!

I absolutely love Focaccia but I never made it before myself. I think the flour mixture is very important. I really want to try to make this. I once made Detroit Pizza at home which is not exactly Focaccia but the dough is inspired by Focaccia. If you never tried original Detroit Pizza its a treat.

Correction and clarifications : 15 grams to 20 grams of salt - 50 grams is way too much. It's a 30cm x 40cm tray. Most importantly you need around 2 grams to 3 grams of *DRY* yeast. Not sure how they got that to rise with 2 grams of fresh yeast even after 24 hours. Everything else is great including the method to no neat it and length of proofing and refigeration. Made a perfect light and fluffy in the middle crunchy faccacia !!!

[@steffentangen8039]

I use 0.33 g yeast per pizza i make. Its easy to get dough to rise with low amounts of yeast

[@TristanFaransa]

Yes, stupidly I added the 50g, I started mixing and realized that 50g was not possible... Too late... Yep, 15 are enough. 2-3g of yeast were enough, the dough rose very well, everything was perfect, but almost inedible with all that salt... Stupid me.

If we were to try this focaccia bread or perhaps a different pizza dough with sourdough instead of instant yeast, like they traditionally did in mediaeval times before the advent of commercial yeast, then what should be the proportion of sourdough in the dough?

[@dflosounds]

I'm a little confused about the flours. In the beginning it's stated that he's using 550g of the blue flour, and 150g of the red flour. That's also what the written recipe says. From what I can find online, the blue is the one with the higher protein content. However, around 3:45, when he adds the 150g of flour, he says it's the blue one "with the high protein content." So does that mean he's actually using 550g of the RED, and 150g of the blue? And for those of us without access to these flours, would that basically mean 550g of all-purpose flour, and 150g of bread flour (or any flour with a higher protein content)?

I love your channel, I got some questions why some people used Poolish to make pizza?

[@sigmablock]

You can add any toppings... so pineapple?

[@vincenzosplate]

Pineapple wouldn’t be definitely my 1st choice 😂

[@pl7868]

I like the way you think 🤣 , um some ham and mushrooms Please on mine 🙂

[@whisperwarehouse]

I look forward to the full video!

[@vincenzosplate]

Coming soon!

[@michaell.9027]

Vincenzo, can you make some video about choosing flour? I got here (in Israel) some Italian brand "gran mugnaio pz2", that has 12 gr protein, and marked as "tipo 00". And there is some local brand, with 15 gr protein, and claim to be "tipo 0" (Manitoba flour). What kind is good better for pizza?

Is there any way to make this bread “without” large holes in it? Thanks!

[@niic766]

Hi there. Is it really 50g of salt? My first attempt was quite flat and not a lot of air/bubbles. Very dense and not fluffy. I wonder if so much salt slowed down fermentation with my different flour? I'm using "Il Molino Pizza Flour". Its got 11g protein per 100g. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any advice? Thanks :)

[@BobSmith-sc6dq]

No. It should be 15-20

[@RageYourSoul]

Vincenzo is that really 30x40 INCHES? or is it CM? it makes difference, thanks

[@simplelife19778]

Cioa thank you very much!❤

[@elenamishevska1998]

I think you got the measurements wrong. This tray looks more like 30x40cm, rather than 30x40 inches. Also, the 50 grams of salt.... I think you meant 15?

[@themuleify]

That's what I thought too and I think even a smaller tray would fit better for a dough out of 700g of flour. My dough fits nicely into 9.5"x13.5" just made it today

[@themuleify]

At the end of the video he actually discusses the sizes, where he says 1g of flour per sq cm. So a 700g of flour should be in a 700sq cm which could be a 24x30 baking sheet or roughly 9.5x13.5"

[@elenamishevska1998]

​@@themuleify tbh, I made this focaccia. I forgot which pan I used, I salted it as much as I felt was needed and it's definitely a top notch focaccia. Absolutely in love with it. Vincenzo's own recipe is great too, very different from this. But this is heavenly.

[@bjenkins803]

Chef, I have to make the gluten free version of this and I make it in a cast iron pan. The crisp you get from the oil on the crust is insane. Makes the some of the best sandwiches too! We actually prefer focaccia over pizza dough because you just can't go wrong.

[@vincenzosplate]

Hi my friend, I’m sure you can create a nice and delicious Focaccia even if you use GF flour, try to follow all the tips gave by Lucio and you’ll get a perfect Focaccia 😍

[@60frederick]

Vincenzo, wouldn’t be interesting to know the prices of the the ingredients and than compare it with the Focaccia bought in a shop. Ok, you can’t add the minutes of you standing in the kitchen because to cook is fun… it could be an argument to do it by yourself. Thank you very much, Lucio and Vincenzo, for sharing your wonderful video with us.

[@vincenzosplate]

That's a great point! Cooking at home can not only be a fun and rewarding experience but also a cost-effective one when you consider the prices of ingredients compared to buying pre-made items. Thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Cooking with passion and sharing recipes is our pleasure! 🍞👨‍🍳🇮🇹😊

[@Skyline_Cinema]

Just made it following this recipe, came out perfect, thanks

[@vincenzosplate]

I'm so glad to hear that your focaccia came out perfect! I'm happy that my recipe was helpful. Focaccia is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or used to make sandwiches, wraps, and other dishes. It's also a great bread for beginners to bake, as it is relatively easy to make.

[@Skyline_Cinema]

@@vincenzosplate Exactly! it was my first time making bread and i'm so happy

[@futuredirected]

Grazie, Lucio e Vincenzo! ❤

[@vincenzosplate]

@@vincenzosplate You cook like my Zia Maria. She was from Campania, near Sorrento. We cooked together a lot, and those days were golden. Grazie, Enzo! ❤️🥰❤️

[@mariadaquila7587]

Wow! This looks yummy💙💙💙

[@vincenzosplate]

It sure does! 💙💙💙 Italian cuisine is all about delicious flavors. Enjoy making and savoring this dish! 🇮🇹🍽️😊

[@bravocesar]

I did it following the recipe. Though it tasted good it was way too salty. I'll try it again with less salt

[@MrBallyhoo62]

15g will be okay.
