Preparation of Quick White Focaccia
In a bowl, pour the flour, yeast, and salt and mix.
Then add the water and oil and with the help of a spoon start mixing, and when the dough comes together, place it on the pastry board (if necessary, floured), knead it for 4/5 minutes, obtaining a smooth and homogeneous dough.
Grease the non-stick baking tray, put the dough inside, and spread it with your hands until it fills the entire tray. It is an elastic dough that works very well with hands, and no rolling pin is needed.
Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C). In the meantime, prepare an emulsion with water and oil in a small bowl and brush it over the focaccia, add coarse salt and rosemary, and when the oven is hot, bake it. Cook for 35/40 minutes, always check after 25/30 minutes (as every oven is different). Once cooked, the focaccia should be slightly golden on the surface.
At the end of cooking, take out the quick white focaccia and enjoy it hot or cold, plain or filled, it’s always good!

Tips
If you have leftover focaccia and want to freeze it, you can do so. Simply cut it into wedges and alternate with sheets of parchment paper between each piece, then place in a freezer bag and freeze. You’ll always have a ready supply! To consume, take it out the night before and once thawed, simply heat it a few minutes in the oven and it will be as good as freshly made!
If towards the end of cooking, the focaccia darkens too much on the surface, cover it with a sheet of parchment paper and finish cooking.
