No-Fuss Focaccia
March 3, 2025
Rob
- Total time: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
- Servings: 1 9x13 Loaf
Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp (60g) Olive Oil (divided), plus more for drizzling
- 1 1/2 Cups (340g) Water, warm
- 1 1/4 tsp (8g) Table Salt
- 3 1/2 Cups (420g) All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbsp Instant Yeast
- Toppings as desired (salt, garlic, rosemary, etc.)
Directions
- 1)
Use non-stick vegetable oil spray to lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ pan. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons (25g) of the olive oil atop the spray; the spray keeps the bread from sticking, while the olive oil gives the bottom crust great flavor and a bit of crunch.
- 2)
Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons (35g) of the olive oil with the rest of the dough ingredients, and beat at high speed with an electric mixer for 60 seconds.
- 3)
Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover the pan, and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes — it should be quite puffy, but not fragile-looking.
- 4)
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- 5)
Gently poke the dough all over with your index finger.
- 6)
Drizzle it lightly with olive oil, and add the toppings of your choice such as salt, garlic, rosemary or other herbs.
- 7)
Bake the bread until it’s golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
- 8)
Remove it from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
