Gather Your Ingredients

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make your homemade focaccia:

  • 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 packet of active dry yeast
  • 1 cup of warm water
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Assorted toppings (such as rosemary, olives, or cherry tomatoes)
  • Salt flakes for sprinkling

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir everything together until a dough begins to form.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 4: First Rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5: Shape the Focaccia

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Transfer the risen dough onto the baking sheet and gently press it out to form a rectangular shape. Spread your desired toppings onto the dough, pressing them in slightly.

Step 6: Second Rise

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 7: Bake the Focaccia

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the focaccia for approximately 20 minutes or until it turns golden brown.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately brush the top of the focaccia with olive oil. Sprinkle salt flakes over the top for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 9: Enjoy!

Allow the focaccia to cool slightly, then cut it into pieces and serve. It’s best enjoyed warm and fresh.

There you have it – a simple step-by-step guide to make a perfect homemade focaccia! Have fun experimenting with different toppings and enjoy the delicious results.
