Easy Focaccia Bread Recipe
Focaccia bread is an Italian flat bread similar to pizza dough, except it’s thicker and normally topped with cheese and herbs. It sounds complicated and exotic, but I promise you that it’s easier to make than regular bread. This is the perfect recipe for someone who is just getting into making yeast breads because it’s so, so easy. Plus, it tastes AMAZING!! Think homemade Pizza Hut Breadsticks, only better and that’s how this tastes. It pairs great with soups or you can dip it in olive oil and eat it by itself. Once you try this amazing bread you will be in love. I promise.
How to Make Focaccia Bread:
Dissolve yeast into water.
Add sugar and salt.
Add flour and mix until dough is formed.
Spray baking sheet and press dough into pan using wet fingers.
Top with butter or oil and other toppings
Let rise in warm place for 45 minutes.
Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.
Cut into squares and serve hot.
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing. I love this recipe as well.
This was amazing! My whole family loved it. I’m embarrassed to say I’ve never had success with any type of bread besides banana (haha) but this was perfect in every way. Thank you!
I’m so glad you like it! 🙂 It really is delicious!
Hi! The recipe sounds delicious, can’t wait to try. Just a question, would it be possible to add black olives to it and if yes, at what stage? Sorry, a newbie here 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
I would add them when you add your butter and other seasonings on top.
Just made the ficaocciai and it is delicious! So easy and chewy. A weekly bread for me! Thanks, Molly
So funny! First batch: my water must have been too hot and the dough did not rise. So I started another batch and decided to throw in the dough, olive oil, herbs from batch one.. I mixed it all together, placed on a prepared cooking sheet it in my microwave oven just to rise undisturned for 45 minutes. Whoa! It rose out of the pan and all over the microwave. I prepared another pan and moved half the dough to the second pan. Lucille Ball! Dough was alive! I added more oo and herbs. Baked it a liilte longer and it was fabulous!!! Thank you.

I’m glad it worked out for you in the end. 🙂
So I had this pinned on Pinterest for a really long time. Got a notification that someone pinned my pin today. Decided to finally make it! OMG this is dangerous! Took no time at all to make and it tastes soooo good! I will 100% be making this again.
Love the Bread!!! Thanks for the recipe!
Made this today. Very easy and quick. Had it with my homemade spaghetti with meat sauce. Froze half of it.
This is the easiest, tastiest bread I’ve ever made. I make two batches every single week. I have an autistic toddler and this is one of the only things he will eat. So this recipe is not just a treat for us, but also a blessing!
What size baking sheet?
It’s up to you. The smaller the bread, the thicker it will be, so if you want a thin bread you would use a larger pan.
I plan on making this bread. Doesn’t the size pan alter the serving size, calories, not to mention the cooking time also?
It would be very helpful to list say, two pan sizes with cook times, serving sizes and calories.
Sounds good
