Homemade Focaccia Bread
Ingredients
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup olive oil (plus extra for greasing and topping)
Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Directions
Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
Let it Rise: Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Focaccia: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking pan with olive oil. Punch down the dough and stretch it into the pan, dimpling it with your fingers. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Cool & Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy on its own, or as a side for soups and salads!
