Préparation
Prepare the yeast dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Dissolve the yeast in warm water and gradually incorporate it. Work the dough until it reaches a soft texture with good hydration. Knead for several minutes to promote even fermentation and a future airy crumb.
Let the dough rise
Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour. This rising phase is essential for developing flavors and ensuring a soft texture. The dough should double in volume and become light, indicating successful fermentation.
Shape the focaccia
Spread the dough on an oiled baking sheet, maintaining a nice thickness. Create dimples with your fingers to form the typical structure of Italian focaccia. Drizzle with olive oil and let it rest for another 20 minutes to perfect the risen dough.
Bake in the oven
Bake at 200°C for about 20 minutes. The focaccia should develop a golden crust while retaining an airy crumb. Monitor the baking to achieve a perfect balance between crisp and soft.
Add the white truffle sauce
Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly, then generously drizzle with white truffle sauce. Avoid overheating the sauce to preserve its volatile aromas and delicate fragrance. Serve immediately to enjoy the full aromatic intensity.
Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin
For an even more flavorful homemade truffle focaccia, opt for a slow rise in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Never add white truffle sauce before baking, as the heat would alter its subtle aromas. Serve as a chic appetizer focaccia with some shavings of aged cheese to enhance the indulgence.

How to Make a Soft White Truffle Focaccia?
To achieve a soft white truffle focaccia, it is essential to let the dough rise long enough to obtain an airy crumb. Baking should be done in a well-preheated oven to form a golden crust while keeping the center tender. The white truffle sauce is added after baking to preserve its delicate aromas.
What White Truffle Sauce to Use for Focaccia?
A quality white truffle sauce, rich in pieces and natural aromas, is ideal for topping a focaccia. It allows for an even distribution of flavor without needing fresh truffles. It is best used at room temperature to maintain its intensity.
Can You Prepare White Truffle Focaccia in Advance?
Focaccia can be prepared a few hours in advance. It is advisable to add the white truffle sauce just before serving to preserve its fragrance and prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
What to Serve with White Truffle Focaccia?
White truffle focaccia can be served as an appetizer, accompanied by fine charcuterie, arugula, or fresh cheese. It can also be transformed into a gourmet sandwich for a more complete tasting experience.
