Easiest Focaccia Recipe
  1. 1

    In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit until creamy, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix the yeast mixture with the flour; stir well to combine. Stir in more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until all the flour is absorbed.

  3. 3

    When the dough comes together, turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in it, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

  6. 6

    Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface; knead briefly.

  7. 7

    Pat or roll the dough into a sheet and place it on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the dough with oil and sprinkle with salt.

  8. 8

    Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how crisp you want it.

  9. 9

    For a moist and fluffy result, bake for about 10 minutes.

  10. 10

    For a crunchier, darker exterior, bake for about 20 minutes.
