POTATO ROSEMARY FOCACCIA
This dough recipe makes the best-tasting all-purpose focaccia dough that I've ever had and is also the easiest to make. Potato, onions, and rosemary make the focaccia base which is accented with a basil, oregano, rosemary, garlic, and thyme oil.

Steps:
- With a large metal spoon, stir together the flour, salt, yeast, and water in a 4-quart bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer until combined. If mixing with an electric mixer, fit it with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed for about 2 minutes, or until all the ingredients are hydrated and begin to form a wet ball of dough. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Switch to the dough hook, add the olive oil, and resume mixing on medium-low speed for 3 to 4 minutes, or until all of the oil is incorporated and the dough is sticky, supple, and smooth; it should clear the sides of the bowl and stick just a little to the bottom. If the dough seems like a batter and does not have sufficient structure to hold itself together, mix in more flour by the tablespoonful.
- Even though it is sticky, the dough should still pass the windowpane test. If mixing by hand, repeatedly dip one of your hands or the spoon into cold water and use it much like a dough hook, working the dough vigorously as you rotate the bowl with your other hand. As all the flour is incorporated and the dough becomes a wet ball, about 3 minutes, stop mixing and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Then add the olive oil, dip your hand or spoon again in water, and continue to work the dough for another 3 to 4 minutes. The dough should be very sticky, but it should also have some texture and structure.
- Form the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl brushed with olive oil. Turn the dough to coat it with the oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and immediately refrigerate it overnight. The next day the dough should have nearly doubled in size. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours before making the focaccia.
- In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours before using.
- Shape and dimple the dough in a 12 by 17-inch (30 by 43-cm) sheet pan using the 2 tablespoons olive oil for preparing the pan and the 1/4 cup olive oil for dimpling the dough. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or until it fills the pan.
- While the dough is rising in the pan, prepare the potatoes. If using new potatoes, place them in a saucepan with water to cover, bring to a boil, and boil for about 10 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain, let cool (or plunge them in cold water to speed the process), and cut into 1/4-inch-thick (6 mm) slices. If using regular-sized Yukon Gold potatoes, slice them paper-thin using a food processor, a mandoline, or a chef's knife. In a bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, onion, if using, and rosemary. Pour in the herb oil and toss gently to coat.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). When the focaccia is fully risen and ready to bake, remove the potatoes from the oil, shaking off the excess oil, and spread the slices over the surface of the dough, either randomly or stacked like dominoes. If using Yukon Gold potatoes, you may need to overlap more tightly to fit on the dough. If using onions, scatter them over the potatoes. Place the sheet pan on the middle shelf of the oven, bake for 5 minutes, and then lower the temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the pan 180 degrees. Continue to bake for 20 to 25 minutes longer or until the dough and the potatoes are golden around the edges.
- Remove the finished focaccia from the oven and immediately transfer it to a cooling rack. Drizzle any oil remaining in the pan, as well as any remaining herb oil, to taste, over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in 350ml cold water and add the oil. Add the flour and 1 tsp salt and mix thoroughly with your hands to make a dough. Cover and leave in the fridge or a cool place overnight.
- The next day, turn your dough out onto an oiled tray approx 30cm x 20cm. Using your fingertips, gently stretch the dough into a rectangle, then fold it in half. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat the process. Leave to rest for 30 mins. Repeat this stretching, folding and resting process twice more.
- Heat oven to 24OC/220C fan/gas 9. Gently stretch the dough to fill your tray. If it shrinks back, don't force it - rest for 10 more mins, then try again.
- Spread the potato slices over the dough, overlapping. Mix the olive oil with the turmeric and brush over, then sprinkle with sea salt and bake on the top shelf of the oven for 25-30 mins. When cooked, drizzle with a little more olive oil and scatter over the rosemary.

Steps:
- Combine the yeast, sugar, and milk in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add 1/2 cup of the flour. Stir well, cover with a towel, and let rest in a warm place for 25 minutes.
- Mix in the olive oil, salt, and 1 cup of flour, until well incorporated. Add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough adheres to the hook. It should remain soft and slightly sticky. Continue mixing for about 6 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Remove from the bowl, shape the dough into a ball, flatten slightly, and put into an oiled bowl. Turn to coat. Cover the bowl with a towel and put in a warm place for about 1 hour, to let the dough rise until doubled.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook slowly until very crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve the pancetta and fat separately.
- Put the potatoes in cold salted water, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook about 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and place in a bowl.
- Pour the pancetta fat over the warm potatoes, add the crisped pancetta, 1 teaspoon of the rosemary, salt and pepper to taste, and the lemon zest. Toss well and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Oil a baking sheet.
- Lightly flour the dough and punch it down. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 12 by 10 inches. Brush off any excess flour and transfer to the oiled baking sheet. Brush the dough with olive oil and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle the potato mixture onto the dough and press it in with the flat of your hand. Press your fingers into the dough to make evenly spaced indentations all over the surface, being careful not to puncture or tear the dough. Scatter the remaining rosemary over the dough.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and the bread is crisp on the bottom. Let cool in the pan to room temperature. Cut into squares, "fingers," or triangles to serve.
POTATO, SAGE AND LEMON ZEST FOCACCIA
There are a lot of focaccia styles out there. There are thick and fluffy ones, loaded with toppings, and crispy, oily ones with a minimalist sprinkle of salt. Then there's everything in between. I decided to stick to this middle ground and bake up something that had crisp edges while still being light and soft in the center. Baking the focaccia in a cake pan, a trick I learned from the Los Angeles chef Nancy Silverton, does just that. It encourages the exterior of the loaf to turn crunchy as it absorbs heat from the sides of the pan, while allowing the dough to rise nicely in the middle. A cake pan also made for a nice-looking, gently domed loaf, more evenly shaped than the flatter, hand-pressed focaccias I've made in the past.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place a small skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add garlic and cook until caramelized and golden brown, 2 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Using a mandolin or knife, thinly slice potato. Toss with 1 tablespoon garlic oil (reserve remaining oil and garlic), sage, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Pour remaining garlic oil into bottom of a 9-inch cake pan.
- Pat dough evenly into pan, leaving a small gap between dough and edges of pan. Chop garlic cloves and press into dough. Layer potato-sage mixture on top. Bake until potatoes and focaccia are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.

- If using a stand mixer: Add yeast with warm water to the mixing bowl and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to bloom, add the 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, semolina flour, and fresh herbs (rosemary is traditional, but this is an optional step). Mix together on low speed until combined, then add 2 1/2 cups of bread flour. Mix on low to medium-low for 2-3 minutes. The dough will be sticky. Add in the remaining 1/4 bread flour as needed, mixing again on low speed, until the dough is soft, smooth & slightly elastic - another 2-3 minutes. Add an additional 3 tbsp olive oil to the dough, in 2 steps - mixing and kneading(with the dough hook) in between for 2-3 minutes. Once the 3 tbsp oil is incorporated - continue mixing and kneading an additional 3 minutes. Take the dough out of the mixing bowl, shape into a ball, and place into a large bowl that's been greased with 1 tsp of olive oil. (or clean your stand mixer bowl and re-use that). Cover with cling wrap (I use a shower cap) and set aside
- Coat a sheet pan lightly with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Turn dough into pan and press gently into a rough rectangular shape using your fingers, pressing out air bubbles. Cover sheet pan loosely with plastic wrap and let rest 15 to 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
- While the dough is rising in the sheet pan, prepare your toppings. The toppings will shrink a little in the oven, so keep that in mind when slicing them. Par-boil the potatoes until barely fork tender (should still be quite firm). Remove to a paper towel to dry. Slice into 1/2 in slices. Prep the red onion, cutting in half and using the darkest portion of the red onion, slice into 1/4" to 1/2" slices. Repeat with the green onion, but use sections that have both white and green color - for contrast.
- On a large cutting board and with a sharp knife, slice into segments and plate. Lightly sprinkle on additional parmesan cheese. Then, in a zig-zag pattern, squeeze on a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It's a pretty pattern to actually over-shoot the edges and squirt onto the plate itself.

- In a bowl crush the cooked potatoes using a fork. Add 600g / 21 oz. of water and stir well. In a separate, large bowl combine the flour with sea salt and active dry yeast, also add the mashed potatoes with water. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
- Knead the dough in a bowl for about 5 - 10 minutes. The dough will be very wet, so if you have an option, better knead it in a mixer. Try to avoid adding any flour, as the dough should be wet and soft. It's not necessary for the dough to form any shape, it's only important to knead it well. Cover the mixing bowl with a tea towel and leave to rest at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, then drizzle with olive oil. Oil the sides as well. Preheat the oven to 230˚C / 445˚F. Transfer the dough to the baking tray. Using your fingers, make deep dimples in your focaccia, pushing them all the way through the dough to the bottom. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile prepare the ingredients for the toppings. Divide the toppings over each quarter of the dough. For the tomato & basil option, arrange the halved cherry tomatoes over the dough. For the garlic & rosemary option, arrange rosemary leaves and peeled cloves of garlic over the dough. For the anchovies & capers option, arrange the anchovies and capers over the dough. For the sage and mozzarella option, break up the mozzarella over the remaining of the focaccia.
