Ingredients
Garlic Oil
Instructions
Dissolve yeast in 320 ml of room temp water. Add 5 grams of honey to the mixture, stirring gently.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 400 grams of bread flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture. Stir the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hours then after that move it into a fridge and rest it for 16 hour or overnight.
Peel 15 cloves of garlic, gently add 1 cup of olive oil in a bowl and add the garlic. Cook in oven until the garlic becomes golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool, allowing the oil to absorb the rich garlic essence.
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Grease a baking pan and gently transfer the overnight dough and cover it for 1 hour.
Now with oiled fingers, press the dough into the pan, creating dimples across the surface. Drizzle the infused garlic oil over the dough, ensuring each dimple is filled with the garlic. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of bread seasoning and 1 tablespoon of chopped coriander leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown and has a crisp exterior.

Note
- Invest in high-quality ingredients, especially when it comes to the olive oil and bread flour. A good olive oil will impart rich flavor to the focaccia, while high-protein bread flour contributes to a chewy and well-structured crumb.
- Experiment with the garlic infusion. You can add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the garlic oil for an extra layer of complexity. The infused oil not only flavors the bread but can also be used as a dipping sauce for an additional burst of flavor.
