Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pitted olives chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped

Equipment

  • KitchenAid® K400 Blender
  • Two 12-cup nonstick muffin pans
  • Citrus zester
  • Rubber spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Yeast Activation: In a bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until frothy.
  2. Mixing: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the yeast mixture and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Kneading: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Shaping: Press the dough into a greased rectangular baking tray. Using your fingers, make dimples in the dough. Sprinkle the chopped olives and rosemary over the top. Drizzle with more olive oil.
  6. Second Rise: Let the dough rise for another 20 minutes.
  7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the focaccia for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serving: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Notes

The creaminess of the avocado provides the perfect base for this mousse, ensuring a silky-smooth texture without the need for dairy. Plus, it's a great way to sneak in some healthy fats!
