    No Knead Focaccia Bread

    I really love the recipe for no-knead bread and when I saw someone use this same recipe for making focaccia I had to try it! Focaccia is an olive oil-enriched flattened Italian bread. It’s crispy on the outside and the inside is airy with holes inside. The only different thing you do with this bread is flatten it out, poke holes in it, and cover it in olive oil. 

    Focaccia Toppings

    Your typical focaccia toppings are usually dried or fresh rosemary and flaky sea salt but here are some other ideas for toppings.

    Rosemary

    Flaky Sea Salt or Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

    Garlic Butter Spread

    Freshly Chopped Chives

    Tomatoes or Olives

    Spread butter and jam over it toasted

    Make a large Italian sandwich with different types of salami, cheese, or capicola ham.

    What Ingredients do I need? 

    In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for. 

    Active Dry Yeast - 1 ¼-oz. envelope active dry yeast, make sure that the yeast isn’t expired before using it. 

    Honey - to help activate the yeast, can sub brown sugar or white  sugar 

    Flour - all-purpose flour such as Red Mill or Gold Medal 

    Water  - When making bread it is important that the water is a lukewarm temperature or else the bread will not rise. 

    Olive Oil - I like the Simply Organic Extra Virgin from Aldi 

    Salt - Diamond Salt or Morton’s Kosher Salt 

    How to make a No Knead Focaccia Bread 

    You can print off the full recipe below. 

    1. Add the dry yeast, honey, and 2 ½ cups of warm water to a bowl. Whisk to combine and let sit for 5 minutes. 
    2. Add the all-purpose flour and salt and mix with a rubber spatula until a sticky dough forms. Drizzle some olive  oil over the dough and place a towel over the bowl  for 3- 4 hours or overnight. The dough will have tripled in size. 
    3. With oily hands transfer the dough to an oven proof baking dish 9X13in. Spread the dough evenly to cover the whole pan. Cover that with saran wrap or a paper towel and let that rest for a few more hours. 
    4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 
    5. Use your fingers to dimple the dough and poke holes in it. Then drizzle more olive oil to soak inside the holes. Sprinkle with rosemary and flaky sea salt and bake until golden brown 30 - 35 minutes.
