Vegan Rosemary Focaccia

Step 1

Place the flour, dry yeast, salt and sugar in a large bowl and stir to combine.

Step 2

Add the water little by little while continuing to mix - don't add all the water at once, add just enough to get the right consistency of the dough. It's supposed to be soft and sticky but not wet. Add 2 Tbsp of olive oil and gently knead with your hands for a few minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the surface of the dough with a little flour, then cover the bowl with cling film and leave the dough to rest for two hours in a warm place.

Step 4

After two hours, cover the bottom of a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Grease the paper with a little oil and place the dough on top. Flatten the dough with your hands gently pushing it to the corners. Leave the dough to rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 5

After half an hour, push the surface of the dough with your fingertips and brush with a little olive oil. Sprinkle salt flakes on top and garnish with fresh rosemary.

Step 6

Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (180°C fan, 200°C static).

Step 7

Serve hot or cold with your favourite dips and salads!
