Ridiculously Easy Focaccia Bread
Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp kosher salt
2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
2 cups warm water
1 tsp softened butter (for greasing the pans)
4 tbsp olive oil (divided)
Italian seasoning or finely chopped fresh herbs
Flaky sea salt (like Maldon)
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and yeast. Add the warm water and stir until the flour is fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (up to 24 hours).
Grease two 9-inch pans and line them with parchment paper. Pour 1 tbsp of olive oil into each pan. Divide the dough in half and place each portion into a pan, coating it in the oil.
Let the dough rest for 2 hours (until it spreads to almost cover the pan). Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C), then lower the temperature to 425°F (220°C) once the dough goes in.
Press deep dimples into the dough with your fingers. Sprinkle with herbs and flaky sea salt. Bake for 22-28 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
