This is the easiest focaccia recipe ever! I’ve made it countless times and it has turned out perfect every time. You can either utilize the same day method or the overnight method. For the same day method, you’re going to let the dough rise for 3-4 hours at room temperature with a 45 min second rise at room temperature. For the overnight method, you’re going to let the dough rise in the fridge for 12-18 hours (24 hours preferably) with a 4 hour second rise at room temperature. Both methods are great! The overnight method yields more pillowy results and is recommended but I totally understand needing to satisfy a focaccia craving immediately! You can top the focaccia with whatever you please but you can’t ever go wrong with fresh rosemary and garlic. So delicious!

salt2 tsp

Step 3

Mix until you get a wet dough with no dry bits.

Step 4

Cover and leave to rest in the fridge overnight (12-18 hours) or at room temperature for 3-4 hours (same day method). You should see large bubbles form and the dough triple in size. The dough should also be very jiggly!

Infused Olive Oil

Step 5

In the meantime, combine olive oil, rosemary and minced garlic into a little cup. Muddle the rosemary and garlic into the olive oil for a few minutes to release the aromatics.
