Homemade Focaccia

One of my favourite breads is definitely Foccacia; served warm with a yummy pasta. Mmm. Homemade Foccacia is super simple, not to mention delicious. Today I'm going to share how I make my Homemade Foccacia with these easy steps. This is not a bread machine bread, this is a handmade, homemade Foccacia.


This recipe will make two eight inch pan loaves. Recipe can be doubled.



PLEASE NOTE: I created this recipe. It is based off of a simple dough recipe, and I made lots of changes to make it more like store bought Foccacia. Please enjoy my recipe!! :)

Step 1: Supplies

To make this Homemade Foccacia, you will need these following supplies:

- 2 bowls
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- baking pan(s)
- mixing spoon
- tea towel
- thermometer {you will need this in step 3 to make sure your water isn't too hot for the yeast. If you are a experienced chef, you won't need this.}

Less supplies = less dishes [whipeee!]

If you're worried about having your water too warm, try taking it from your cold tap, then leaving it on the side for half an hour or so to come up to near room temperature.

It still works perfectly well at this temperature, but you don't get that "ooh have I killed my yeast" worry.

Yes, I have heard of that trick, but if you decide at the spur of the moment that you want to make bread, it's kinda a pain to have to wait. But if you plan ahead, it's a great old trick. Thanks for sharing :)

Looks yummy!

One question though... If you are making two loaves in separate pans, wouldn't you need to split the dough in half after rising in step seven?

Oh goodness... How could I forget that? Yes, you do. Thanks so much for pointing that out, will fix that ASAP :)
