It can be flavored with fresh herbs, flaky salt, sun-dried tomatoes, and so much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this recipe for focaccia bread, I kept things simple by just topping it with flaky sea salt and fresh rosemary. The bread itself is incredibly flavorful thanks to the olive oil and bit of honey in the dough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although focaccia bread is easy to make at home, the dough requires some babysitting. In today&#8217;s post,&nbsp;I&#8217;ve outlined my preferred method for making focaccia in addition to all of my tips for baking success!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-26248 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C1800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of the ingredients needed to make focaccia bread with rosemary. \" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-1.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What You&#8217;ll Need for This Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>This recipe is incredibly straightforward and uses just eight basic ingredients! Here is what you will need:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Water:&nbsp;<\/strong>Your water should be warm, but not hot. If it&#8217;s too hot, you&#8217;ll kill the yeast and the dough won&#8217;t rise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey:&nbsp;<\/strong>Just a couple spoonfuls of honey feeds the yeast and subtly sweetens the dough.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yeast:&nbsp;<\/strong>You&#8217;ll need to use one 0.25-ounce package of active dry yeast in this recipe.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:&nbsp;<\/strong>To keep things simple, you&#8217;ll be using all-purpose flour. Make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-measure-flour\/\">spoon and level<\/a> your flour when measuring it, so you don&#8217;t end up measuring out too much by mistake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:&nbsp;<\/strong>I used fine sea salt to flavor the dough and flaky sea salt for topping. If you only have fine sea salt or regular salt on hand, that&#8217;s perfectly fine!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil:&nbsp;<\/strong>Extra virgin olive oil enriches the dough. It&#8217;s also used to grease the pan and on top of the bread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rosemary:&nbsp;<\/strong>I prefer fresh rosemary, but dried rosemary works just fine too! Feel free to omit it or use another herb instead.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26245\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?resize=1200%2C1800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An overhead view of a pan of focaccia bread that's been sliced into pieces.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Focaccia-Bread-20.jpg?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Stretch &amp; Fold Method<\/h2>\n<p>Some focaccia recipes knead the dough and others use the stretch and fold method. I tested this recipe with both techniques and much preferred the version using the stretch and fold method!<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;ve never heard of this method, it&#8217;s typically used in higher hydration doughs that are stickier and not as easy to knead by hand. Just like kneading, the stretch and fold technique helps develop the gluten in the dough.<\/p>\n<p>Although it takes longer, it&#8217;s much easier than kneading the dough for several minutes and perfect for beginners too!&nbsp;It&#8217;s typically done about four times, stretching and folding all four corners each time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I&#8217;ll explain exactly how to stretch and fold your dough in the section below to ensure that your bread turns out perfect!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;

You want the temperature of your water to be between 110\u00b0F to 115\u00b0F (43\u00b0C to 46\u00b0C). If the water is too warm, it can kill the yeast and the dough won&#8217;t rise properly.<\/li>\n<li>Need a warm place to let your dough rise?&nbsp;Set a heating pad to the lowest setting, place a dish towel on the heating pad, then place your bowl on top.<\/li>\n<li>I highly recommend using a metal baking pan to create a crispier focaccia.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>I kept this recipe simple by using just fresh rosemary, but you&#8217;re welcome to use any mixture of fresh herbs that you like. You&#8217;ll need about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>More Easy Bread Recipes You&#8217;ll Love!<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a
