Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl with a stiff wooden spoon, combine the water, salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and yeast. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Alternatively, this can also be done in a standing mixer.
  2. Add in the flour and stir well to combine, making sure no dry pockets of flour remain. 
  3. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 20 minutes. 
  4. Knead by hand for 1 minute. Cover the bowl again while the dough rests for another 20 minutes. Repeat this process twice more. 
  5. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place the dough in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
  6. Preheat the oven to 425° F. While it preheats, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a 9x13-inch baking dish and use your fingers to spread it evenly over the bottom and sides of the dish. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and use your oiled hands to transfer it gently into the baking dish. 
  7. Use your fingertips to gently press the dough evenly throughout the pan, taking care to not deflate all the air pockets. Leave large indentations of your fingertips in the dough. Cover the dough and allow it to rise at room temperature for 2 hours.
  8. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over top of the dough. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt, if desired. 
  9. Bake the focaccia for 20 minutes, or until golden on top. Allow the focaccia to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting into it. Serve with a fresh drizzle of olive oil.
