A simple recipe for savory focaccia bread topped with garlic and parmesan, perfect for entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for greasing
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Pour the yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with olive oil.
  7. Gently punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking pan. Press the dough to fill the pan.
  8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  10. Uncover the dough and drizzle generously with olive oil. Dimple the dough with your fingertips.
  11. Sprinkle the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and flaky sea salt over the dough.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, drizzle with hot honey before serving.
  • You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the topping.
  • Ensure your yeast is active for proper dough rising.
