Ingredients
1 loaf whole-wheat or white frozen bread dough, thawed (you could use homemade too)
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup blackberries
1/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Gently stretch or roll the thawed bread dough into an approximate 11 by 8 inch oval shape directly on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and olive oil together.
4. Brush this butter-oil mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
5. Sprinkle the fresh blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries over the dough, followed by the sugar.
6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is beautifully golden brown. Slice and enjoy warm!
Notes
Focaccia relies on a good amount of olive oil for its incredible texture. Be generous when greasing the pan and oiling the dough.
Ensuring your water is the correct temperature is vital for activating the yeast. Too hot or too cold can ruin your rise.
Once the dough has risen, handle it gently to maintain that lovely airy structure.
Keep an eye on your focaccia during the last few minutes of baking to ensure a golden-brown finish without drying it out.
