Description
This golden-baked focaccia is topped with raspberry jam, fresh berries, honey, and lemon zest — a fruity, vibrant twist perfect for brunch or dessert.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
3½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1¼ cups warm water (110 °F/43 °C)
¼ cup olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
For the Topping:
½ cup raspberry jam
½ cup fresh raspberries
2 tbsp honey
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Mix Dough: In a large bowl, whisk flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead & Rise: Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–1½ hours until doubled.
Shape Dough: Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment and drizzle with olive oil. Press dough into pan, dimple surface with fingertips, and let rest uncovered for 30 minutes.
Add Toppings: Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Spread jam evenly over dough, leaving a border. Press in raspberries, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle lemon zest and sugar on top.
Bake: Bake 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Cool & Serve: Cool slightly. Garnish with fresh mint if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Try different berries (blueberries, strawberries) or jams (apricot, peach).
Add slivered almonds or pistachios for crunch.
Mix rosemary or thyme into dough for herbal depth.
Divide into minis for individual servings.
Can be made with store-bought focaccia in a pinch.
