Ingredients needed
Flour. I’ve made this using 00-flour, regular bread flour and a combination of all-purpose and bread flour. The 00-flour and bread flour produce a chewier loaf but the all purpose flour is still delicious and great if that’s the only flour you have. Instant yeast/active dry yeast. Salt. Sugar. Extra-virgin Olive oil. Warm water.
How to make Focaccia bread
Freezing and storing
Can I add toppings?
Yes absolutely. I prefer a simple bread flavored only with flaky sea salt, but you can add olives, cherry tomatoes, caramelized onions or herbs to the top of the bread before serving. Fresh rosemary and oregano are delicious additions. You can also treat focaccia dough as pizza dough and add your favorite pizza toppings.
What to serve with Focaccia
Homemade focaccia bread is a great side dish to almost any main/entree but it’s especially good as part of an antipasto platter or served with olive oil bread dip. I also love sandwiches made with focaccia piled high with salami, fresh rocket/arugula and good cheese.
