The Easiest Bestest Focaccia Bread Ever Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with flour; stir well to combine. Stir in additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until all of the flour is absorbed. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for about 1 minute.
• 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 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface; knead briefly. Pat or roll the dough into a sheet and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the dough with oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake focaccia in preheated oven for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on desired crispness. If you like it moist and fluffy, then you'll have to wait just about 10 minutes. If you like it crunchier and darker in the outside, you may have to wait 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan, then drizzle about 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom.
• Add all of the ingredients together, and with an electric mixer mix on high for 1 minute.
• Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover the pan with a towel , and let it rise at room temperature for 1 hour, till it's become puffy.
• While waiting for the dough to rise, preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Once the dough is done rising gently poke the dough with your finger.
• Drizzle lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with seasoning, and/or the dried herbs of your choice, if desired.
• Bake until bread is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove it from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
