Mamma mia, let’s make dough

Focaccia dough calculator

Genovese spirit: a dimpled, olive-oil-soaked pan bread with an open, custardy crumb. The focaccia preset runs 80% hydration and 4% olive oil, sized to your pan in grams per square centimetre.

Stretch-and-folds instead of kneading, a patient rise, oiled fingertips for the dimples — the calculator weighs it all and tells you when.

Just a pinch — time does the work, not the yeast. Forno at 220 °C — hotter is better!.

La tabella di marcia

Come si fa

  1. Dissolve the yeast in the water.
  2. Add the flour, mix until no dry spots remain. Rest 20 minutes (autolyse).
  3. Add the salt, then the oil in two additions, and knead until smooth and elastic, 8–10 minutes.
  4. The dough will be sticky — that’s correct. Do 3 sets of stretch-and-folds, 20 minutes apart, instead of heavy kneading.
  5. Bulk ferment, then divide and stretch into oiled pans (30×22 cm). Let it relax and fill the corners in stages.
  6. Dimple with oiled fingers, top, and bake until deeply golden.
