  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Bake focaccia in preheated to 250°In the oven for 15 minutes. I baked on the "top-of-them + convection" mode. So focaccia turned out to be a uniform golden color. Remove the finished focaccia from the oven, cool slightly and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

Before buying yeast, look at the way they are activated. If yeast needs to be pre-filled with warm liquid so that they "wake up", then these are not suitable for us. With them, the reaction will be very insignificant and the dough will not rise well. We need yeast for dry kneading, which can be mixed with flour. 


From this amount of ingredients, you can make 2 small tortillas or one large one.

The liquid in which yeast is bred should be pleasant to the touch, no higher than 40 degrees. Why is this important? In a warm environment, yeast is well activated, in a hot one it will die, and in a cold one it simply will not work.

It is important to sift flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baking will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
