  • Focaccia is a great bread that everyone should know how to make. Focaccia bread is made with pantry staples that are mixed by hand, then let rest and folded, before proofing, adding dimples and topping with whatever you have for a crisp crust, and an open fluffy interior. Full recipe linked below.

    A couple of notes on this focaccia. I like using a fairly high hydration dough. For this recipe, my water amount is 75% of the flour. This leads to focaccia with a thin, but really crisp crust and a soft interior with fairly large holes inside, this texture and size I find perfect for making sandwiches with. While the end product I prefer much more, a high hydration dough will naturally be really sticky and can be annoying to work with if you aren't used to it but don't worry I'll show you how.

      @@techguy67 I am assuming you took it out of the oven because it had gotten a brown outside. But it is quite possible that it got cooked quickly, try cooking at a little lower temperature. You can always get the brown color by increasing the temperature for the last 4-5 mins.

      But, if you use much less yeast and go with a long raise, you'll get a longer shelf life and a more digestible focaccia. Nevertheless it looks great.

    LOVE this recipe! We use it all the time. We like to add 1-2 cloves of minced garlic to the 20g of oil when we start making the dough. That way, the garlic infuses the oil and it is super good when we drizzle it on at the end before baking.

    First time making focaccia, I was nervous as heck but this recipe turned out perfect!
