Focaccia is an Italian leavened bread, which means it uses yeast to help it rise, giving it an airier texture. It is a flatbread that has a similar look and texture to pizza crust. In fact, some Italian places call it pizza bianca! People serve it in a variety of different ways. Some people cut the bread into strips; others serve it round, fresh ou...
A trademark step in making bread is kneading the bread. This involves folding the dough on top of itself and smashing it back down. Bakers repeat this process a few times to incorporate microbubbles into the dough, which inflate during the baking process. If you don’t knead bread, it won’t rise and look like a loaf of bread. Since focaccia is a fla...

Serve this bread with stuffed pasta shellsfor a family meal that feels extra special and full of love.This Italian focaccia recipe is SO easy to make. I used basic bread ingredients you’ll easily find at your grocery store! Here’s what you need: 1. Bread flour 2. Active dry yeast 3. Kosher salt 4. Olive oil 5. Sea salt 6. Fresh rosemary
This recipe works with both bread flour and all-purpose flour, but I prefer using bread flour. Bread flour has a higher percentage of protein (12-14%) compared to all-purpose flour (8-11%). The higher protein allows the bread to rise higher, resulting in thicker focaccia. If you do decide to use all-purpose flour, it is the same measurement (1:1).
The most common types of yeast are active dry yeast and instant (rapid rise) yeast. You can use either one in this recipe (1:1), but if using active dry yeast, you have to dissolve it in water first! The water should be 110F-115 degrees Fahrenheit, so a food thermometer comes in handy here. Whisk into the water and allow it to bubble for 5 minutes....
When it comes to baking, precision matters! So, I always use a digital scale to measure my ingredients. Make sure you place your empty measuring cup on the scale and then ‘tare’ the scale. This will reset the weight and not weigh the cup – just the contents inside it.
Not everyone has a dough mixer, so I made this cast iron focaccia no-knead. Mix the ingredients until no dry flour remains. You can use your hands or a rubber spatula, so it doesn’t stick. Cover tightly with plastic wrap so no air escapes.
After you have mixed all of the ingredients together and covered it, allow the dough to rest. I let my dough rise on the countertop – the photo above was after 15 hours, and I didn’t notice any deflation.
After your dough has risen overnight, take a rubber spatula and fold the edges into the middle of the dough to form a tight ball. In a large cast-iron skillet (I used a 12-inch), add 3 tbsp olive oil and place the dough in, seamed side down. Allow the dough to sit in the cast iron for another hour.
