Focaccia: secrets for perfect leavening – Gordon Ramsay’s version

Focaccia: secrets for perfect leavening


Focaccia is one of the jewels of Italian baking, loved for its crunchy crust and its soft and fragrant interior. Make one perfect focaccia it is an art that requires knowledge and passion. In this article, we will discover the secrets of impeccable leavening, which is essential for obtaining a focaccia that is not only delicious in taste, but also aesthetically inviting.

The choice of ingredients

Flour: the basis of everything

The choice of flour it is crucial to success of the focaccia. It is advisable to opt for a strong flour (with a high gluten content) such as manitoba or a reinforced 00 flour. These flours allow the development of gluten to create a structure that effectively retains the gases released during leavening, resulting in a soft, honeycombed crumb.

Yeast: natural or brewer’s?

The yeast plays a key role in leavening. The mother yeast, with its long times, gives the focaccia a more complex flavor and a lighter texture. Brewer’s yeast, whether fresh or dry, is more predictable and faster, ideal for those looking for convenience without sacrificing quality. The choice depends on the time available and personal preferences.

The leavening process

Long leavening: patience and aroma

A long leavening, ideally over 12 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator, allows the aromas to develop and the formation of an alveolar structure. During this slow process, the yeasts work more uniformly, ensuring a lighter and more digestible crumb.

Temperatures and humidity: the silent allies

The temperature and humidity are factors that are often underestimated but essential. Proofing in an environment that is too cold can slow down the process, while an environment that is too hot can speed it up too much, compromising quality. A slightly warm and humid environment is ideal for optimal leavening.

The creation of a perfect focaccia is a symphony of elements ranging from the choice of ingredients to the management of leavening. With patience, care and following these tips, even home bakers can achieve high-level results, bringing a piece of Italian tradition to their table.

Happy baking and bon appetit!
