Recipe

Air fryer tomato focaccia

Air fryer tomato focaccia made from a soft yeast dough. Allow two rises, dimple with oiled fingers and bake in a small suitable tin.

Ingredients

4 servings

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Mix flour, yeast and salt. Add lukewarm water and 8 g oil, knead about 8 minutes. Cover and rise about 60 minutes until noticeably airy.

  2. 2

    Mix and season

    Grease tin with 5 g oil. Press dough in and rise again about 20 minutes. Dimple with remaining 2 g oil on fingers. Chop and dry tomatoes and press in lightly with oregano. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.

  3. 3

    Cook

    If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Bake about 25 minutes at 170 °C. Dough must be baked beneath tomatoes too. Extend if needed without darkening the top.

  4. 4

    Check and serve

    Cool about 5 minutes and lift from tin. Cut crumb should be airy and set, not sticky raw dough. Divide into four.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Air fryer tomato focaccia

No, the dough would be dense. Look for visible aeration, not only the clock.

Use only lukewarm water; strong heat harms yeast.

Thick dough or much tomato juice delays baking. Keep the stated tin size and check inside.

Follow the manufacturer; normally put the tin in the basket with air space around it.
