A no-knead sweet focaccia with strawberry jam and and a vanilla glaze. Everything you love about a jelly donut, but as focaccia.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1/8 Sheet Tray - 6x9"
Ingredients
For the Focaccia Dough
- 250 g flour “00” or all-purpose
- 200 g warm water
- ½ tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
Strawberry Jam Layer
- ½ cup strawberry jam homemade or your favorite store-bought
Vanilla Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp cream or milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir to mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey (or sugar). Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the water-yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Stir to combine, until you don't have any dry patches of flour left.
- Cover and let the dough proof either overnight in the fridge (for the best flavor and texture) or at room temperature for ~5 hours.
After Proofing
- If the dough was refrigerated, take it out and let it come to room temp.
- Fold the dough onto itself to build structure: Grab one side, stretch it upward, and fold it into the center. Repeat, pulling the other side of the dough to create a tri-fold.
- Lightly oil the bowl, place the dough seam-side down, and let it rest for 1 hour.
Shape & Layer the Dough
- Generously oil a parchment-lined 1/8 sheet tray.
- Place the dough on the tray and stretch it into a rough rectangle.
- Spread ¼ cup of jam evenly over the surface.
- Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter) to create layers of jam inside.
- Flip the dough so the seam is on the bottom. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
Bake the Focaccia
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).
- Once preheated, stretch the dough out to fill the tray using wet or oiled fingers and gently dimple the entire surface with your fingertips.
- Bake for ~15 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and the bottom is nice and crisp.
Glaze & Finish
- While the focaccia is still warm, spoon over the remaining ¼ cup of jam.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the jam and swirl to create a marbled effect.
- Let cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Then, slice it up and eat!
