No-Fail Focaccia!
This easy bread requires just 5 minutes of hands-on work, 60 minutes to rise, and 30 minutes in the oven!
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- Extra olive oil for the pan and drizzling on the top.
- Seasonings of choice for sprinkling see note
Instructions
- Grease a 13x9 pan and pour some olive oil (about 2 tbsp) into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
- Add the flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and warm water the the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Mix on high for 1 minute.
- Press the dough into the pan. The dough will be very sticky, that's OK. If it doesn't press all the way to the edges, that's OK too.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rise somewhere warm for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375'F
- After 1 hour the dough should have risen to double (or more) of its original size. Remove the covering and poke the dough all over with your finger or the end of a wooden spoon.
- Drizzle the top with olive oil and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the bread sounds hollow when it's tapped.
