  1. RICHER nore flavorfull and stay softer longer….. try adding ANY liquid besides water … buttermilk is amazing… milk , coconut milk, cottage cheese works and so does Yogurt… all make a slightly diff texture and or sour tart flavor… but yes. An liquid works…

  2. I used 600 grams of flour. I prepared my yeast as instructed in a 2 cup measuring glass. I filled the measuring glass to the 2 cup mark after it was ready. I added this to the salt/flour mixture. I used AP flour. I added 4 tablespoons of olive oil and followed his instructions.
    The dough turned out very well, but I think it could have done better with slightly more olive oil or slightly less flour.
    I basically followed his directions in the second video. Which is to oil a baking dish very well before you scrape the dough in the center. Run two spoons under cold water and stretch the dough to fit, best you can. Make a mixture of water, olive oil, and salt. Basically massage generous amounts of mix onto the dough, making dents with your fingers part way through. It seems like you want to work with the bubbles if they form. I added rosemary and garlic cloves to the top of mine, sure to rub the cloves into the oil mix a little before pressing in. This absolutely delicious with his bruschetta recipe. Phenomenal.
    I forgot to say you let it rise for another 45 minutes after spreading the dough into the pan. Before you massage the oil mix in. For those who can’t find the second part.
    Could have used 1-2 tsp more of salt. Also, I made this in a 9×12 and it turned out much thicker than I expected haha. Maybe could half the recipe too.

  3. General rule I like to use: activate the yeast in just a smaller amount of fluid and add the rest as needed. Depending on many things it can vary how much you'll need. It's always a mess if you add too much at the start. Every YT recipe gets it wrong by not saying this. Those measurements are working in your kitchen with your ingredients but my flour might be slightly different, requiring some adjustments. I know it because I am not a total noob but there are people out there who don't. It's a learning curve like everything else. Also if anything turns out differently than in the videos, don't panic, think it through and adjust (or call your mum/grandma/whoever is best in your inner circle with the stuff you're doing, they'll help you out).

  4. Leaving it in the fridge over night with less yeast is not more work, only more planing. And it turns out so much better.

  5. NO RECIPIE AMOUNTS POSTED MAKES YOU STUPID START AGAIN AS WE CANT ESTIMATE 3½ cups flour all-purpose flour or half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour

    1½ cups + 1 tablespoon lukewarm water

    1 teaspoon yeast instant dry yeast or active dry yeast. 10 grams if you use fresh yeast.

    1 teaspoon sugar

    2 teaspoons salt

  6. Looks and sounds delicious! Thank you Nico and Louise for sharing these short cooking videos! I will do this on Christmas with a charcuterie board to nosh on all day.

  7. Why is my focaccia dough not stretchy? It just tears up and the end result doesn't have bubbles and retracts when dimpled.
