Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the dough using a bread machine or by hand until the first proofing stage is complete. Gently round the dough on a lightly floured surface to degas it. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 10 minutes for an intermediate proof (bench rest). This resting period makes the dough more pliable and easier to handle.
Step 2
After the intermediate proof, gently press and stretch the dough to fit your focaccia pan or baking sheet. Be careful not to make it too thin, and try to leave the edges slightly thicker. Arrange your chosen toppings evenly over the dough. This could include the prepared galbi or bulgogi, sliced onions, and black olives. Sprinkle generously with pizza cheese, chopped parsley, basil, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor and visual appeal. Now, let the focaccia undergo its second proof in a warm place. To create a humid environment that aids proofing, you can place a cup of hot water next to the focaccia. Allow it to rise for about 30-40 minutes, or until it has visibly puffed up.
Step 3
Once the second proof is complete and the dough looks nicely puffy, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Carefully transfer the focaccia to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes. You’re looking for a golden-brown crust and melted, bubbly cheese. Avoid opening the oven door too frequently during baking.
Step 4
Remove the baked focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing it into your desired serving portions. Enjoy your delicious homemade Galbi Focaccia while it’s warm and the flavors are at their best!
