INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🍯 ½ teaspoon honey
    • 💧 2/3 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • Yeast

    • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

STEPS

1

In a large bowl, dissolve honey and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

2

Add 1 cup flour, salt, and 3 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined and then work in the last cup of flour. Knead the dough until smooth, elastic, and soft, about 7 minutes. Add only enough flour to keep the dough from being sticky.

3

Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

4

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. Place in greased 9x13 inch pan or baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

5

Poke dimples in the bread and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on top. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

💡 You can customize the focaccia by adding toppings like garlic, oregano, or sun-dried tomatoes before baking.Ensure the water used for the yeast mixture is warm but not too hot, as heat can deactivate the yeast.For an extra crispy crust, lightly mist the oven with water right before placing the dough inside.
