Use This Secret to Make Perfect Focaccia Dough
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Sourdough focaccia is one of the easiest-and most delicious-breads you can make in the home kitchen. But what if you could make it *softer*? This naturally leavened sourdough Focaccia Pugliese takes things a step further by incorporating potato into the dough for even more tenderness, softness, and, well, deliciousness. Top with crushed tomato or just olive oil and sea salt.
➡️RECIPE: www.theperfectloaf.com/focacc...
🍞INGREDIENTS:
469g High-protein white flour (12.7% protein; King Arthur Bread Flour)
132g Durum flour "extra fancy" (or more white flour or whole wheat)
198g russet potato
33g extra-virgin olive oil
483g Water
13g Fine sea salt
12g Ripe sourdough starter, 100% hydration (used to make a 130g levain w/ 59g white flour, 59g water; as seen in the video; or just use 130g of your starter directly)

Thank you! I hope you like this one too, it's just so, so good. That's still in progress-working to get it done!
If you were mixing by hand, would you add the olive oil at first with the other ingredients? I'm wondering if you could ever list the directions for manual mixing as an alternative to using the mixer. Great videos!
Hey, Garry! I'll have some videos here with hand mixing very soon--stay tuned 🙂 I would hold back the olive oil and mix by hand until the dough is smooth, elastic, and stronger, then squish it in. If the dough is too dry to mix without the oil, add a little in, but hold back as much as you can until the dough is a little stronger (oil will make strengthening the dough and developing the gluten harder).

Potato should be pressed through ricer when is still hot and mixed with warm water. Otherwise it stays in small pieces and not well incorporated in dough.
Or at least pressed warm direct in dough.
Great tips, though I find the potato completely disappears in my dough after it's been thoroughly riced.
@@theperfectloaf That is good, for the people that are not using machines i would suggest to premix hot riced potato in warm water and wait a bit to cool down. Its good to use older starchy potatoes.. similar than for gnocci or other potato dough.
Do you have place where the recioe can be printed out? Or at lieast a list of ingredients?

Never mind I found your web site.
Can you use this focaccia for pizza dough too?
I wouldn't-it's very wet and loose dough. If you did want to do this, you'd need to reduce the dough hydration to make it more workable for pizza!
What Brandi’s your oven/cook top?
both are Thermador (Bosch)
Thanks
Does it have break proofing and dehydration setting?
@@travelswithdebbierandy it does have both, though the proof setting is a bit high... I believe around 100F.
Hey man, i was planning to do a poolosj for my focaccia as i wont be home for two days ish, and i can't make a whole dough to put in the fridge cuz i dont got space. Ive been looking for poolish recipies and istg, ive seen from (yeast % of total poolish maas) 1% to .5% to .16% to .1% to .01% of yeast. Man 😅. As i do plan to keep my poolish in the chiller for two days, what would your recommendation be sirm
That sounds about right, I'd go with .5% IY.
@@theperfectloaf Thanks, that's what I did, focaccia cooking as we speak. Why do you think such differences exist? Normally one can find a pretty standardized ingredient list for something. Maybe it depends on the time and what's being cooked?
When I made it today, it’s very wet. I add white flour and mix into it. Put it in my pan. Why is it so wet and soppy after 2.5 hours of bulking?
it's all relative to your flour. the dough is definitely wet for this focaccia, but if it feels soupy or extremely sticky and loose, hold back some of the water used in mixing to adjust the hydration.
Can we steam unpeeled potatoes instead of baking?
Thank you.
Yes, that'll work. I've never tried this, and I do worry the potatoes might absorb some of the steam/hydration, so I would reduce the water in the main dough by a bit to compensate (how much, I'd have to test! I'd start with 50g).
@@theperfectloaf Thank you.
I will tryout your advice.
Can I retard this dough so that I can bake the next day and have for lunch? If so when do I do this? Thank you
absolutely. I mention it in the post over at my website (recipe link is in the description), after dividing the dough into pans, id cover and place in the fridge. next day, take out in the AM and proof on the counter until ready to bake (might be around 3-4 hrs, temp depending).
