Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the dough

  • Prepare one recipe of no knead pizza dough until step #6.

To assemble

  • Generously grease a 9 x 13 inch focaccia pan with 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Transfer the dough to the pan and use your fingertips to gently stretch the dough to fit the pan. Cover and let rest one more hour.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile prepare the toppings: wash, dry, remove the stem and slice each fig into 4 pieces; remove the rosemary from the stems.
  • Dimple the dough with your fingertips and press the sliced figs into the dough.
  • Brush the surface with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle the rosemary and course salt evenly over the surface.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until both the top and bottom of the focaccia are golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack to prevent the bottom from becoming soggy.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Substitutions and Variations:
-To use dried figs instead of fresh, place them in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes, drain, pat dry and slice.
-To replace fresh rosemary with dried, use only 1 tsp.
-For extra sweetness, drizzle a spoonful or two of honey over the focaccia before baking.
-Top the focaccia with a few slices of prosciutto crudo once out of the oven.
-Replace part of the all-purpose flour in the dough with semolina flour as in this recipe.
Tips on handling no knead dough:
-No knead dough is quite sticky, this is normal. Do add flour as needed in order to handle the dough.
-For best results, that is a light and airy dough, do not over handle the dough. Use a light hand when stretching it out with your fingertips.
Storage:
-Store fig rosemary focaccia at room temperature for up to 2 days.
-The focaccia may be frozen after it is baked and cooled. Wrap well and freeze for up to 1 month.
-Defrost at room temperature and reheat in the oven.
