- developed dough
For baking
- 9x13 baking dish
- extra virgin olive oil20 g + a drizzle
Drizzle olive oil into a 9x13 baking pan until the bottom is covered. After the last stretch and fold, turn the focaccia dough into the pan and gently work it to the edges.
- Note: If the dough is springing back from the edges, cover and let rest for 15-20 minutes before gently working it to the edges.
Cover the pan and let the focaccia proof for 45-60 minutes. At the end of proofing, the dough should be well-risen and puffy with gas bubbles.
Preheat the oven to 450°F/232°C.
