Focaccia bread in the air fryer with rosemary and coarse sea salt:

This recipe for focaccia bread in the air fryer with rosemary and coarse sea salt isn’t just a quick and easy way to make delicious, crispy focaccia: it’s a rediscovery of one of the traditional Italian bread recipes, adapted to the modern kitchen.

What is the story behind focaccia?

Focaccia, with its roots planted deep in ancient Italy, has long been a staple of Mediterranean cuisine. Originally used as a portable meal for travelers and workers, this olive oil-infused flatbread has evolved over the centuries. From being a simple bread among the oldest Italian bread recipes, it has been developed over the years to embrace a range of toppings. From rosemary and sea salt, to more substantial toppings like tomatoes, olives, and cheese.

I recommend this lovely coffee with our focaccia bread in the air fryer

When I bake focaccia with rosemary and coarse sea salt, a good cup of coffee is the perfect companion – either for breakfast or as a well-deserved break during the proofing. A medium roast Arabica brings out the bread’s nutty and slightly salty notes without overpowering the fresh rosemary’s fragrance. I can warmly recommend Freehand Gently coffee beans – 1 kg. – a smooth and balanced coffee with fine acidity and a round, sweet aftertaste that plays beautifully against the crispy bread.

Why make a focaccia recipe with an air fryer?

The arrival of air fryer technology has opened the door to a new way of baking Italian bread recipes that doesn’t require a traditional oven. This method brings several advantages: this recipe for focaccia bread in the air fryer is faster, reduces energy consumption, and gives the bread a good crispiness.

Tips and tricks for the perfect focaccia bread in the air fryer

• The importance of the pre-dough: A well-developed pre-dough ensures that your bread has the best texture and flavor. Let the yeast activate properly in the lukewarm water with sugar before you add the remaining ingredients.
• Olive oil: Using high-quality olive oil is the key to an authentic flavor. The olive oil adds moisture and flavor to the bread, and contributes to the crispy crust.
• Air circulation: Make sure the air fryer isn’t overcrowded. Good air circulation around the focaccia is crucial for even and crispy baking.
• Toppings: Don’t be afraid to experiment with toppings. Rosemary and sea salt are classics. But adding ingredients like chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or even thin slices of potato adds a new dimension to your bread.
