Make flavorful, rustic focaccia bread easily using a skillet and a no-knead method. This recipe yields a bread with a crisp bottom crust and aromatic rosemary flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 105°F)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. Pour in the warm water and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined into a shaggy dough. Do not overmix.
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours until it is bubbly and has doubled in size.
  4. Generously coat the bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast iron skillet with olive oil.
  5. Gently scrape the dough out of the bowl and into the prepared skillet. Turn the dough over once to coat both sides with oil.
  6. Cover the skillet loosely and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  8. Gently stretch the dough with oiled fingers to fill the bottom of the skillet. If the dough resists, let it rest for 10 more minutes before stretching again.
  9. Drizzle the top of the dough with a little more olive oil. Press your fingertips firmly into the dough to create dimples across the surface.
  10. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary and coarse sea salt evenly over the top.
  11. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bottom crust is deep golden.
  12. Carefully remove the focaccia from the skillet immediately after baking and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet, preferably cast iron, for the best bottom crust.
  • If you prefer a thicker bread, use a slightly smaller skillet (8 or 9 inches).
  • For extra flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
