How to make vegan focaccia with tomatoes
You’ll love how easy this recipe is! Start by mixing together flour, yeast, salt, garlic powder, chilli flakes and dried coriander. Then, gradually pour in cold water, and mix until a dough starts to form.
At the end, add olive oil. Fold a few times into the dough, then knead using your hands for around five minutes. You don’t need much longer, but it really does make a difference to the resulting texture and fluffiness of the focaccia.
Now, cover the dough with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 1-2 hours. This is the most time-consuming part of the process, but it’s all hands-off time.
When almost done rising, preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, add the focaccia dough, and stretch it out into a rectangle. No need to be perfect – the ‘roughness’ of focaccia is one of its most delightful characteristics.
Dimple the focaccia using your fingers and drizzle more olive oil on top. Sprinkle with extra salt and dried coriander, add the cherry tomatoes, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool for around 5 minutes before serving.
