Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (discard or active)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
Optional toppings
  • rosemary, sea salt, garlic, etc. Feel free to experiment with toppings!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sourdough starter, water, salt, olive oil, and sugar until combined.
  2. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Let the dough rise in a warm area for about 30-45 minutes, covered with a damp cloth.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Spread the dough onto a greased baking sheet, dimpling the surface gently with your fingers.
  6. Add any optional toppings and drizzle with olive oil.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure your sourdough starter is bubbly and active for the best flavor. Don't rush the rising process! Letting the dough rise for at least 30 minutes will enhance the texture. You can store your focaccia at room temperature for up to three days or freeze it for longer storage.
