Focaccia fácil sem sovar

Ingredientes

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast (Fleischmann's)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• Flaky sea salt
• Optional toppings: melted butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and/or fresh rosemary

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a large bowl, add water, yeast, flour, and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a dish towel and let it rise for 2 hours until it has doubled in size.

2. 2

   Once the dough has risen, generously coat an 8x8 baking dish with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Enough oil so the dough won’t stick to the bottom.

3. 3

   Gently transfer the dough from the bowl to the oiled baking dish. Let it sit for 1 hour until it has doubled in size again.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the dough with remaining olive oil. Dimple the dough with your fingers and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

5. 5

   Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Once the bread is out of the oven, add more salt, if desired. Cut, serve and enjoy!
