A soft and airy same-day focaccia bread with a golden, lightly crisp crust and rich olive oil flavor, perfect for enjoying fresh homemade bread without an overnight rise.

Ingredients

  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 cup olive oil (plus more for pan and topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  3. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1–1.5 hours.
  5. Generously oil a baking pan and transfer the dough into it, gently stretching to fit.
  6. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes until puffy.
  7. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  8. Dimple the dough with your fingers, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with rosemary and flaky sea salt.
  9. Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden on top and crisp at the edges.
  10. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Dough should be sticky for best texture.
  • Use plenty of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Great served warm or at room temperature.
  • Customize toppings to taste.
