Making bread is probably one of the most rewarding things you can make such as this focaccia recipe.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. instant yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. flaky salt (like maldon)
  • 1 cup warm water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, yeast, stir well.
  • Add the warm water and 1 tablespoon olive oil, stir with a wooden spoon until the flour is absorbed.
  • I kneaded the dough for just a few minutes, rolled it into a ball, and put it back in the bowl, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • When you are ready to bake it, remove from the refrigerator, and place it on a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper. Let rest 2-3 hours in a warm spot in your kitchen.
  • Before baking, using your fingers, poke down to make the indentations, add 1 tsp. olive oil and using your fingers, spread out on top of the dough.
  • I added dried oregano, some flaky sea salt.
  • Bake in a pre-heated oven at 450. Once you oven is at 450, add the bread to the oven, reduce the heat to 425 and bake for 18-22 minutes. Mine took 22 minutes.
  • Let cool before cutting.

Notes

If you’ve always been intimidated by making bread, I promise you can make this!  
5 minutes prep, and 22 minutes to bake, the rest is hands off refrigerating the dough overnight and letting it rise before baking. 
Great for making sandwiches, this can also be made in a round cake pan too!

Check out this blog post where I made my first artisan bread. It’s from the book Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day by Zoe Francois.

Zoe Francois has several books – and she even has a gluten free version – which for anyone who tries to make gluten free bread – it can turn out as a disaster!

My middle child was gluten free for several years, and I had mostly fails in the gluten free bread making – but Zoe did all the testing first, so you don’t have to do trial and error by yourself.

Are you a fan of making you own bread?
