This homemade bread is easy to make and soft and fluffy inside with just the right amount of chew.
What is Focaccia Bread?
Every cuisine has its own style of bread and this is an Italian favorite. Similar to the chewy texture of a deep-dish pizza crust, focaccia can be enjoyed and seasoned any way you’d like. This recipe is seasoned with kosher salt and rosemary and perfect for dipping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Don’t stop there, use it for sandwiches, or even to sop up any sauce left in the bottom of a bowl of pappardelle.

Focaccia Bread Ingredients
FLOUR: All-purpose flour produces light, fluffy dough with air pockets that absorb spreads, sauces, and oils. YEAST: This recipe uses Instant Yeast so it can be mixed right into the flour. If you don’t do a lot of baking, be sure to check the date on your yeast packets as the bread will not rise properly with expired yeast. MIX-INS AND TOPPINGS: Focaccia bread is sturdy enough for many types of mix-ins and toppings! Mix in chopped olives, sundried tomatoes, minced garlic, or any herb combination! Top focaccia with parmesan cheese, fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or parsley. Or even Everything Bagel Seasoning!
