Where to Add Italian Seasoning

You can add the Italian seasoning in two different places, and both will work well:

1. During the Dough Preparation:

   • After your autolyse period (after the dough has rested for 30 minutes), before adding the salt and olive oil. Simply sprinkle the Italian seasoning (about 1-2 tablespoons) evenly over the dough and gently fold it in while mixing in the salt and oil. This ensures the seasoning is incorporated thoroughly throughout the dough.

2. As a Topping:

   • You can also sprinkle additional Italian seasoning on top of the focaccia just before baking, along with the sea salt and olive oil. This gives a delightful aromatic finish and visual appeal to the bread.

Adding Italian Seasoning in the Recipe

Here’s how to adjust the recipe step:

4. Add Salt, Oil, and Seasoning:
   • After the autolyse period, sprinkle 20 g of salt and 1-2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning over the dough. Add 25 g of olive oil. Mix until the salt, seasoning, and olive oil are fully incorporated into the dough.

You can then proceed with the rest of the steps as previously outlined!

This way, you'll get the full benefit of the Italian flavors both inside the dough and on top. I hope this helps, dear! Enjoy your flavored focaccia!
