This spicy focaccia recipes is perfect for beginner bread makers that want to maximize on flavor! Chili crisp, rosemary, and sage take this bread to the next level.
Focaccia is a simple yet rewarding bread to make. With a soft airy interior and a crispy outer crust, the texture is crucial to the overall focaccia experience. To enhance that and add some complex heat, pair this bread with Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil. Its aroma and flavors pair perfectly with the rosemary and sage, while also adding umami, heat, and some extra crunch to the focaccia.
This recipe will make 8-10 squares (depending on how you cut your bread) and is great on its own as a snack or as the base of an epic sandwich.
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Add warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms, then knead in the bowl or on a floured surface for 3–5 minutes until smooth.
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Oil a 9x13 baking dish or quarter sheet pan. Transfer dough into the pan and gently stretch it to the edges. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Dimple the surface of the dough with your fingers, then sprinkle chopped rosemary and sage over the top. Spoon 1 tablespoon of Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil across the dough, letting it settle into the dimples.
Bake at 425°F for 22–25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp over the top. Sprinkle with flaky salt and shredded parmesan and enjoy!
