Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  • Mix the ingredients together until they form a cohesive dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a rough rectangle.
  • Using a sharp knife or a baker's lame, make slashes across the dough to create a leaf-like pattern.
  • Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Bake the fougasse in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
