Easy Focaccia Bread
You don't even need a mixer, just a bowl and a spoon to make this delicious easy bread!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. flaky salt (like maldon)
- 1 cup warm water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, yeast, stir well.
- Add the warm water and 1 tablespoon olive oil, stir with a wooden spoon until the flour is absorbed.
- I kneaded the dough for just a few minutes, rolled it into a ball, and put it back in the bowl, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When you are ready to bake it, remove from the refrigerator, and place it on a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. Let rest 2-3 hours in a warm spot in your kitchen.
- Before baking, using your fingers, poke down to make the indentations, add 1 tsp. olive oil and using your fingers, spread out on top of the dough.
- I added dried oregano, some flaky sea salt.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 450. Once you oven is at 450, add the bread to the oven, reduce the heat to 425 and bake for 18-22 minutes. Mine took 22 minutes.
- Let cool before cutting.
Notes
If you've always been intimidated by making bread, I promise you can make this!
5 minutes prep, and 22 minutes to bake, the rest is hands off refrigerating the dough overnight and letting it rise before baking.
Great for making sandwiches, this can also be made in a round cake pan too!
