Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups Warm Water (105-115°F)
  • 2 tsp Sugar (Feeds the yeast)
  • 1 packet Active Dry Yeast (Approx. 2 1/4 tsp)
  • 2 cups Bread Flour (Higher protein)
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Balances texture)
  • 2 tsp Salt (Enhances flavor)
  • 6 tbsp Olive Oil (Add richness and moisture)
  • 1 jar Raspberry Preserves (Use your favorite jam)
  • 2 cups Confectioners’ Sugar (Adds sweetness)
  • 24 tbsp Whole Milk (Adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Combine warm water and sugar with yeast: In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle in active dry yeast, whisk gently, and let sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix dough: Attach the dough hook and gradually add bread flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix on low speed until sticky dough forms, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. First rise: Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
  4. Prepare baking pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan generously with olive oil.
  5. Second rise: Transfer the risen dough to the greased pan, fold and knead lightly, cover, and let it rise again for another hour.
  6. Preheat and shape dough: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Poke deep dimples into the dough and spread raspberry preserves on top.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown, then remove and poke additional holes, filling them with more preserves.
  8. Make glaze and finish: Mix confectioners’ sugar with whole milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm focaccia and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Use your favorite jam for the raspberry preserves to customize the flavor.
  • Adjust whole milk quantity (2-4 tbsp) to get the desired glaze consistency.
  • Ensure water temperature is between 105-115°F to properly activate the yeast.
