Sourdough Focaccia

The perfect companion for your pimento cheese dip – just like we offer on our Wine + Bites menu!

Ingredients 

  • 500g of Flour
  • 360g of lukewarm water
  • 10g of salt
  • 2g of yeast
  • 1tsp of starter (optional for flavor)

 

Instructions

Add lukewarm water to a mixing bowl, then add all other ingredients and mix by hand for 3-5 minutes. Let the dough rest and cover for 30 minutes. Once the dough has rested, remove it from the bowl and gently fold it from each corner. Repeat that step three more times. Separate the dough into halves and put the dough in a 10-inch cake pan that is well-oiled with olive oil. Let sit for an additional 30 minutes, then push the dough down all over with your fingertips. Season with salt and bake for 10-13 minutes at 500 degrees.
