This No Knead Focaccia recipe is full proof and crazy easy to make! Crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle, you will have the perfect focaccia bread every time!
Serve alongside my delicious bread dipping oil for the perfect combo 😊
This easy No Knead Focaccia bread recipe is going to blow your mind! It’s one of the simplest bread recipes that barely takes any work at all to create unbelievably tasty Italian bread. Fun fact, it's actually the first bread recipe I ever made myself and I couldn't believe how easy it was! Since this day I can truly say, you can't beat the taste of fresh bread 😊. I now love making different bread recipes such as Persian flatbread - noon barbari, along with this simple yogurt pita flatbread and even healthy bagels.
If you haven't made bread before, this focaccia recipe is the perfect place to start for new beginners. I know bread making can seem a little daunting and scary at first, but trust me this recipe will definitely change your mind. It requires no kneading or fancy equipment. You basically add the ingredients to a bowl, stir, and pop in the fridge to proof overnight while you sleep. The hardest part is patiently waiting for the dough to double proof which is the key to making the best focaccia bread.
Think crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy in the middle…the smell in your house while its baking will drive you crazy it's that good! I've been spending some time in Italy the last couple of years and my Italian friends call me the Focaccia Queen. They always ask me to make it for gatherings and the whole loaf is eaten within minutes. You can simply enjoy it on its own, but I love to serve with my bread dipping oil whilst sipping on a limoncello spritz as an aperitivo when hosting an Italian night 😊
The traditional topping on focaccia and my usual go-to is extra virgin olive oil, rosemary and flaky salt...you can't beat a classic in my eyes! I however love switching it up with different toppings too and have an extensive list below to help. There are also plenty of different recipes you can make using this same no knead focaccia as the base. Such as my focaccia pizza and even these cute focaccia muffins which are so fun for parties.

What is Focaccia?
So you might be wondering, what actually is Focaccia and why does everyone love it so much. Focaccia is a classic Italian bread and technically thought of as a flatbread. It’s super soft with an airy texture and a crispy golden crust. Traditionally baked in a flat rectangular baking sheet pan for its signature form.
It’s made with the standard bread ingredients including flour, water, yeast, olive oil, and salt, but what makes it special is its high hydration dough and signature dimples on top with a generous amount of extra-virgin olive oil for the perfect crunchy delicious focaccia.
Focaccia is traditionally enjoyed on its own or dipped into extra virgin olive oil or a yummy bread dipping oil. However you can also use it as sandwich bread, or serve alongside soups, stews and pasta. You can flavor it with fresh or dried herbs, olives, garlic and even cherry tomatoes. The toppings are endless making it so popular and a favorite in Italian cuisine.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- All purpose flour is the base of the dough, creating a soft yet sturdy texture. You can substitute with bread flour for extra chewiness due to its higher protein content, or even 00 flour. I haven't tested whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour myself, however there are some comments and reviews from some people that have to help
- Instant dry yeast or active yeast will assist the dough to rise over a double proofing method. *If using active dry yeast, make sure that bubbles or foam appear in the water before mixing into the flour bowl. This is to ensure the yeast is still alive
- Warm water activates the yeast and creates a high hydration dough for a light, airy texture. Ensure the water isn't too hot and only luke warm - I suggest an easy ratio of 1 ½ cups room temperature to ½ cup boiling water
- Salt enhances the overall flavor and taste of the focaccia bread
- Sugar feeds the yeast and gives the bread a subtle depth of flavor and golden color
- Extra virgin olive oil is crucial for the perfect focaccia, adding richness and enhances the flavor and aroma. It's always best to use a good quality olive oil
Focaccia Toppings
The toppings are endless when making focaccia bread! Here are some personal favorites:
- Classic - fresh rosemary, flaky sea salt, extra-virgin olive oil is my go-to
- Cherry tomatoes, olives and oregano (focaccia Barese style)
- Focaccia pizza flavorings with pizza sauce and mozzarella
- Red pepper flakes, chili oil, or chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- Other fresh or dry herbs such as oregano or thyme
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Caramelized onions
- Confit garlic cloves or garlic oil
- Grated Parmigiano Reggiano (parmesan cheese)
- Turn them into cute focaccia muffins instead!
How to make No Knead Focaccia
This No Knead Focaccia recipe is simple, foolproof, and perfect for beginners. With minimal effort and an overnight rise, you'll get a light, airy texture with a crisp golden crust. Follow my simple steps below (find quantities in the recipe card below)
In a large bowl, stir together flour and salt
In a separate bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. If using active yeast, wait for bubbles to appear before continuing
Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix well with a spatula or wooden spoon until no dry flour remains. The dough should be thick and sticky
Drizzle with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight (10-12 hours)
The dough should have tripled in size (as pictured)
Coat a 9×13-inch (34x27 cm) baking dish with olive oil. Lightly oil your hands, transfer the dough to the dish and gently stretch it to fit evenly
Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 2-4 hours until doubled
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Oil your fingers and press dimples into the dough, , keeping any air bubbles intact
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary and flaky salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes (or up to 30 if needed) until golden brown
Remove from the oven and transfer the focaccia straight to a wire rack. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
Focaccia Variations
You can turn this same focaccia recipe into other delicious creations! Here are some fun ways to use the same dough:

Make adorable Focaccia muffins - divide the dough into greased muffin tins, let it rise, and bake for the perfect personal size and great for sharing. Not to mention they're so cute too!
Same Day Focaccia
If you don't have the time to make the overnight focaccia dough or you want to make a last minute batch, here's how to make a same day focaccia recipe:
- Follow the same steps 1-4 however don’t place in the fridge. Once you've made the dough and covered it in plastic wrap, leave it to proof for about 2 hours at room temperature, preferably in a warm place in the house like a windowsill until it doubles or even triples in size
- Continue steps 5-7, however the second rise should only take 30 minutes to 1 hour to double in size and fill the oven dish
- Continue the same steps 8-10 and enjoy your same day focaccia!
Serving Suggestions
This focaccia recipe is super versatile. Here are some great ways to enjoy it:
- With extra virgin olive oil, bread dipping oil, basil oil or balsamic vinegar
- Dips such as hummus, tirokafteri - spicy feta dip, whipped ricotta or whipped feta dip
- For sandwiches like burrata caprese, chopped Italian sandwich and grinder salad
- As a side with stews or soups such as minestrone soup or pastina soup
- Alongside Italian pasta dishes including pasta alla norma and spaghetti aglio e olio
- For pizza lovers top it with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and basil pesto
Tips and Tricks
- If using active yeast you must make sure that bubbles or foam appear in the water before adding into the flour bowl. This ensures the yeast is still alive. If there are no bubbles or foam, you may need to make a new batch
- Use an non-stick oven dish or baking pan, or the focaccia will get stuck after it’s baked and will be very hard to remove otherwise. You can add parchment paper to your dish if preferred before adding the oil
- Generously coat the oven dish with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. It may sound like a lot, but it’s required so that the dough doesn’t stick and it gives the focaccia its signature flavor and texture
- When handling the dough and dimpling, ensure to add a little olive oil to your hands and fingertips. The dough is super sticky and will stick to your hands and fingers otherwise
- All ovens are different in strength so cook time can slightly change. Check the color at 20 mins, especially for a strong oven. If your oven isn't very strong, it can take up to 25-30 mins
- Let the focaccia rest and cool down for 5-10 minutes on a cooling rack before slicing and enjoying
Storage Instructions
- Keep leftover focaccia wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. You can also store in the fridge for up to a week
- Reheat in the oven, toaster oven or air fryer for a few minutes to refresh the texture. You can also microwave it but it will lose its crunch
- Freeze leftover focaccia for up to 1 month. Slice and freeze separately on a baking tray for 2 hours, then stack in a freezer bag. Thaw and reheat as above and enjoy!
FAQs
The key to the perfect focaccia is using a very slow fermentation in the fridge where the dough slowly rises for 10-12 hours, followed by a second proof before baking resulting in fluffy delicious airy bubbly focaccia bread
Follow the same recipe, however don't place in the fridge. Proof at room temperature for 2 hours, followed by 1 hour for the second proof (more detailed instructions are above in post)
Yes! You can even refrigerate for up to 48 hours for an even slower development on the dough rise
Standard all purpose flour works great for focaccia due to it's very slow overnight rise, however bread flour will give you an even better result with a more chewy texture due to its higher protein content

Recipe
No Knead Focaccia (Crazy Easy - Beginner Friendly)
Video
Ingredients
- 17.5oz / 500g all purpose flour (you can also use 00 or bread flour)
- 2 cups warm water (1 ½ cups room temperature water + ½ cup boiling water)
- 2 teaspoons dry instant yeast - or active yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add flour, salt and stir together
- In a separate bowl, add the warm water, sugar and instant yeast and stir together**If using active yeast, ensure to wait until bubbles or foam appear before moving to the next step
- Pour the yeasty water into the flour bowl and mix together with a spatula or wooden spoon. Make sure to mix it well so there is no flour left at the bottom of the bowl. It should be a very thick sticky dough
- Drizzle the top with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to rest and rise overnight (~10-12 hours). The next day, the dough should have tripled in size
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil to a non stick oven dish (9×13 inch or 34x27 cm in size), making sure the sides of the dish have also been lightly coated with the oil (you can also place parchment paper in the dish if preferred before the oil)
- Add a little olive oil to your hands and move the dough into the oven dish. Carefully stretch the dough into the shape of the oven dish, levelling the top to be even
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and leave to proof again at room temperature in a warm place for 2-4 hours until doubled in size
- Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Add oil to your fingers and press fingers into the dough to make dimples all over the top of the dough
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with rosemary leaves and flaky salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes until nicely golden brown (if your oven isn’t very strong, it can take 30 minutes - just keep an eye on it)
- Remove from the oven and transfer the focaccia out of the dish straight away to a wire rack and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve your delicious No Knead Focaccia bread alongside the best bread dipping oil or my homemade basil oil for the perfect combo and enjoy!
Notes
- Yeast - if using active yeast, make sure bubbles or foam appear before mixing with flour, this confirms the yeast is alive. If no bubbles, start fresh
- Oven dish - use a non-stick dish or baking pan to prevent sticking. You can add parchment paper before oiling to help
- Dough handling - lightly oil your hands before stretching the dough and when dimpling to prevent the sticky dough from clinging
- Cooking time - Ovens vary, so check at 20 minutes. Strong ovens bake faster, weaker ones may take 25-30 minutes
- Cooling - let the focaccia rest on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before slicing for the best texture
Andi says
What is 500 grams of flour?
Ayeh says
Its about 4 cups and 2 Tbsp but its always best to measure flour by its weight using a scale for the correct results xx
Laura says

I have been waiting to have courage to bake some sort of bread at home and this was an answer to my prayer! I have been making a batch everyday week experimenting with toppings! Aaahh this is love! Thank you Ayeh!
Ayeh says
You are so welcome dear, this makes me so happy to hear x
Josie says
Hi Ayeh - can't wait to try this. Is is possible to not have to leave the dough in the fridge for 12 hours? Is it possible to leave the dough out on the kitchen bench for an amount of time instead? Cheers, look forward to trying your recipes. Best Wishes.
Ayeh says
Hi dear, yes you can. Leave it in a warm place until it triples in size zz
Holly Roberts says
I’m not a focaccia fan but I was having friends over for pasta night and thought I’d try this recipe because of the ease Ayeh made it look!
It was easy, delicious and everyone loved it including me!
Definitely don’t skimp on the olive oil in the pan and better yet use parchment paper in the bottom.
Ayeh says
Awww so happy to hear lovely!! Its such a crowd pleaser right! Yes so true, it can stick easily xxxx
Flor says
I have been looking into baking ideas as a bonding experience for my son and I. This bread is AMAZING and SUPER EASY TO MAKE! the excitement sprawled across my son's face, from start to finish, was pure joy for meThank you for posting such delicious recipes that everyone can enjoy!
Ayeh says
Aww this makes me so happy to hear! You are so welcome dear xxx
Orson C says
First 2 batches didn’t rise . Then I bought new and different yeast and have been cooking this every second day. So easy and very yummy. Thanks Ayeh
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Orson!! The yeast is truly so so important and is the make or break 🙂 So happy you persisted yay!
Denise says
What an amazingly tasty and easy recipe, thankyou
Ayeh says
You are most welcome lovely xxx
Jamiela says
Hi Ayeh
I have tried your recipe twice.
The 2 cups of water makes the dough extremely liquidy.The dough did not rise in the fridge.What am I doing wong.
Regards
Ayeh says
Hi dear, that doesnt sound right lovely. Have you measured the flour by weight? You can add a touch of extra flour if its too wet but it shouldn't be liquidy, it should be a very sticky dough. Also I have tips re testing your yeast to make sure its alive before using it xxx
Nicole says
My dough didn't rise. It didn't seem to liquidy. It was sticky. I used the 4 cups and 2 tablespoons of flour and my yeast was bubbling some before I put it in. Then poured 1/4 cup olive oil over it. It said 4 tablespoons so that's 1/4 cup. Any suggestions? I put It in the fridge with a damp towel over it
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Nicole, oh no the oil seems to be the issue as you need to add it in stages. The dough only needs a light drizzle of olive oil before it goes into the fridge - step 3. You then add some of the remaining olive oil to the dish in step 4, then top with the rest of the oil in step 8. hope this helps x
Erica says
I’m Italian and this recipe is amazing! wow!

Ayeh says
Grazie Mille 🙂 xx
Kaitlin says

Arianne (arivee) says
Made this today! I made this with zaatar topping and another one halved between with cheese and mushroom (for the kiddies) and spicy pepperoni for hubby and I! So good!!
Ayeh says
Oh yum! Love the idea of adding Zaatar! x
Mary says
So good I nearly cried. Yes bread brings out the emotions.
Thankyou so much for making this so easy and not scary!
I will try it next time with crushed garlic and parsley in the olive oil before baking!
Ayeh Manfre says
Hehe absolutely love this!
AE says
My dough didn't rise at all though I followed the instructions. In the video you put yeast in the flour, that's definitely not salt! You don't mention that in the recipe. I should have watched it first instead of wasting expensive 00 flour.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, if the dough didn't rise, it could be an issue with the yeast. The video and recipe are the same : Step 1 to add salt and flour to a bowl, Step 2 is to separately combine yeast, sugar and warm water which is then mixed into the flour bowl. You can also use plain all purpose flour, instead of 00 flour. Hope this helps 🙂
Tiffany says
Please re-read the instructions. She includes yeast.
Firstpancake says
I did not watch the video. Please re-read her recipe. She definitely included the yeast in the ingredients as well as the instructions. Check yourself.
Meena says
Can you make it with whole wheat flour?
Ayeh Manfre says
Yes you can 🙂 I haven't tested it myself but have seen many reviews using whole wheat xxx
Keith says
Can I just let it rise for a hour or two and then bake?
Ayeh Manfre says
Unfortunately not with this recipe, its a no knead dough so it needs time to ferment and proof twice for the best texture
Paige says

Laura J says
I have it in the oven now. It only rose up about double. I tried a first batch which totally failed. (Expired yeast but gave it a shot in case it still worked. It didn’t.) The second batch rose about half. Definitely not 3 x’s. I used non expired yeast, wondering if the liquid I used was too hot. I left it on the counter not in the fridge as the first batch didn’t rise and in the comments it says you can have it on the counter. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. It’s just not rising as high as it’s recommended. Proofed for a good 12+ hours and proofed it again. Mine seems off a bit. Fingers crossed it works. Just curious what I did wrong
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Laura, oh no that doesn't sound right. The water should be warm, not too hot. The yeast also needs to be not expired. How did the second proof go when you moved it to the baking dish?
Nairuz says
Loved it forgot to leave star rating
Ayeh says
Thank you lovely xx
Kharis says
Oh my goodness! I might eat the whole pan while writing this review! SO simple SOOO yummy! I topped with olive bruschetta, homemade sundried tomatoes, rosemary and coarse sea salt! Thank you so much for this recipe! Bonus points for being plant based friendly!!
Ayeh says
Aww love this Kharis, they all sound so good!!
Natasha says
I substituted the flour for gluten free flour and it worked great! (Just needed to be baked a tad longer) If you can’t eat gluten because of allergies like me I’d definitely recommend trying this
Ayeh says
So glad to hear this dear as I havnt had the chance to experiment with GF flour 🙂 xxx
Kana says
Which GF flour did you use? I usually use Bob’s Red Mill.
Karen says
Can I use a smaller nonstick pan
Ayeh Manfre says
You can use a slightly smaller dish, it will mean a thicker focaccia though 🙂
Jaimee says
I used white gold, gluten-free bread flour, and it works amazingly!
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear this Jaimee! So happy the GF flour worked so well xx
Rajeshwari says
Loved the recipe!
I am a first time bread maker and focaccia bread is my love. I have always wanted to try making it at home and your recipe was perfect. No mess and so so easy! Thank you so much for this recipe, the bread turned out superr crunchy and yummy 🙂

Leah says
I’m attempting this recipe now and the 4 Tbls of olive oil seems a lot! It didn’t look like it’s as that much on your video. Can you confirm! Thank you it looks amazing!
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Leah, its 4 tablespoons in total, so you'll add some to the baking dish along with a drizzle on top too xx
Charli says
Hi, just made this with my dad. Turned out great! We're glad you included the nutrition information, but were wondering what size piece it's in reference to. Thanks for the help!

Hi Ayeh,
Just want to say thank you for sharing your focaccia recipe. Wow!!! So easy to make and delicious. This is one dish I’ll be making more often. Thank you

I’m off to bed and the dough is in the fridge. I can’t wait. I made 2, one I will top with sage and flaky salt, the other I think feta cheese, olives and cherry tomatoes!!! I can’t wait.
Ayeh says
Yayy cant wait to see what you think!!
Joan says
Just finished baking this. Delicious and super easy. I’m going to have to put it out of reach as I’m grabbing a bite every time I walk by;) Topped with dried rosemary as I didn’t have fresh, coarse salt and a bit of fresh grated Parmesan. Would definitely recommend parchment paper. I used a glass baking dish with 2.5 Tbs olive oil, but it still stuck to pan.
Ayeh Manfre says
Hehe yay love this! We normally finish the whole batch the first day too 🙂 Oh yes, it will most definitely stick to a glass dish. 100% recommend a non stick pan next time , I have some tips on this on my blog too xx
Kim says
Hiii! Can I use a glass baking dish? I don't have a non-stick one :/
Ayeh says
Yes you can lovely, just make sure its oven safe. Also you can use baking paper so it wont stick to the glass xxx
N Acosta says
It’s delicious and so easy!! Its a family favorite! So yummy in so many ways!
Ayeh says
Aw love this!
Aly says
Hi Ayeh, i’m wondering if the 12hrs proofing is critical? Does it matter if the proofing is longer? Or less?
I don’get up very early so by the time i make it, 12 hrs ends up being overnight for me Thankyou
Ayeh Manfre says
The longer overnight proofing will give you better fermentation and texture, but it will still work with a slightly less and more proof time xxx
Stephanie says
Love, love, love this recipe and have made it numerous times for my family. Would it be possible to freeze the dough and if so at what point in the rising process? Thank you for your lovely recipes!
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh wonderful to hear lovely!! I havnt tried to freeze the dough to be honest. I have however frozen the focaccia once cooked which still turns out great once its reheated x
Tricia says
I saw this recipe in TikTok and immediately made it. This was the easiest and the tastiest one that I have made. This will be my go to focaccia for now on.

Mike Parla says
Very simple, little clean up and fantastic result. I've made a ton of focaccia and this recipe is the best.
Rachel says
250mg is 1 cup so 500 mg is 2 cups. 2 cups of flour.
Ayeh Manfre says
Without a scale it turns out to be about 4 cups and a few tablespoons of flour 🙂
Cindi says
I just came across this recipe and can’t wait to try it. Is the oven you used forced air?
Ayeh Manfre says
Yes it is 🙂
Maree Larter says
I remember how good bread was, I'm a celiac now, have you ever tried to make a gluten free Focaccia?
Cheers Maree
Ayeh Manfre says
I havnt myself, but there are some comments and reviews here of people that have using this same recipe with GF flour 🙂
Annie says
Hi! Love this recipe. Im on the second rising step (2-4 hours at room temperature). Is it ok to let is rest longer than 4 hours (like 7)? I want to bake it later this evening for dinner.
Ayeh Manfre says
Yes that should be fine, will be even fluffier in the middle x
Theresa says
Can I leave it longer than 12 hours in the fridge?
Ayeh Manfre says
Yes you sure can 🙂
Debbie says
What is 500 g mean on the flour
How much is that
Ayeh says
Its about 3 cups and 2 Tbsp but its always best to measure flour by its weight using a scale for the correct results xx
Olivia says
This recipe was super easy and absolutely amazing ... Crispy and delicious can't wait to make it again ... Loved making it
Ayeh says
Crispy is the best Focaccia! So glad you will be making it again 🙂
Cat says
This focaccia bread turned out so delicious! Simple recipe with easy to follow instructions. I topped mine with thinly sliced cherry tomatoes, grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. I believe this was one of the best focaccia breads I've ever had 🙂

Ayeh says
Yay So happy you made it already and loved it Danielle 🙂 xxx
Drew says
Could you add halved cherry tomatoes on when you bake?
Ayeh says
Hi Drew, yes definitly! Just don't add too many so it doesn't become too heavy and stop the bread from rising x
Lexie says
My first time making foccacia and the recipe made it easy and enjoyable! Making the dimples was so satisfying and the aroma of the bread fresh out of the oven was wonderful and the taste was even better!
I will definitely be making this again !
Thanks Ayeh!
Ayeh says
Hehe yes its so satisfying dimpling the dough! So glad you loved it so much xxxx
Federica says

Hi Ayeh, mine is currently in the oven and smells great!
Just wondering if it would be possible to use self raising flour if i didn't have yeast?
Thanks
Ayeh says
Hi dear, unfortunately it won't proof or provide the same texture lovely xxx
Gail says
Just wondering if this could be made in an airfryer instead of the oven as I rarely switch my oven on these days
Ayeh says
I havnt tried myself dear, do you have a large air fryer to fit this size dish?
Lauren says
Made this bread for the first time yesterday, and it came out perfectly soft and fluffy! The dough is very sticky like Ayeh says, but trust her, it works out and is delicious! I added some olives for extra flavour! Thank you Ayeh xx

Awww thank you so much!! Crunchy yet soft is spot on!
Regina says
I can’t wait to try this
Ayeh says
Yay cant wait to see your remake!!
Sara says
If I make the dough tonight and don’t have time to bake it until tomorrow night, will leaving the dough to rise for 24 hours instead of 10-12 cause issues? I’ve literally never made bread before so first timer here…
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Sara, you still need to double proof it in the oven dish for 2-4 hours. So if you do that in the afternoon, it will still be ok 🙂
Neha pandit says
Its so easy and soo delicious recipe. In love with this focaccia bread. Thanks for the recipe ayeh !!

Kittima says
This has to be the most easy bread recipe I have ever made in my life! My focaccia came out absolutely flawless And I’d like to thank Ayeh for all the tips she provided in the recipe!
Ayeh says
So easy right! So glad my tips helped you too xxx
qousqous says
This was very easy to make and super delicious! Highly recommended!
I did have a problem with the focaccia sticking in the pan a bit, so either make sure your pan really is nonstick, or use parchment paper. I’ll be trying that next time.
Ayeh says
So glad you loved it too! Oh yes, super important to use non stick or baking paper next time dear xxx
Lol says
What a simple recipe and sooo tasty. I’ll be making this all the time now. Another great recipe from Ayeh
Ayeh says
Yay! Love that you'll be making it again!

Ayeh says

Btboot says
This recipe made me into a baking lover! So delicious and easy to make.
Ayeh says
Hehe love that!
Olivia Be says
Absolutely delicious! I added olives on top and kept the rest of the recipe more or less the same. I ended up doing 27mins in the oven and 24hrs of proofing in the fridge but it was little bit overdone so definitely stick to Ayeh's recommendation! It's so fluffy yet crispy, I ate a quarter of it straight out the oven and will never be buying bread again. If you're like me and a bit sick of sourdough, look no further, this will be your new vice.
Ayeh says
Hehe love that you were eating it straight from the dish as we did the same! So glad you liked it so much xxxx
Kate says
Hi Ayer!
Can I leave the dough in the refrigerator for longer than 12 hours like 48 hours? Would the dough be over fermented?
Ayeh says
Hi dear, yes it can be left longer than 12 hours. I havnt tried personally leaving it for as long as 48 hours to know for certain xxx
Paula says
I tried this focaccia and it was SooOo GOOD!! Thank you, best and easiest recipe so far.. I don’t think I’ll be buying normal bread anytime soon if ever!

JJ says
Loved the recipe but my focaccia ended up sticking to the parchment paper I used! Is there any way to remedy this?
Ayeh says
Oh no, did you also use oil? The baking paper should prevent any sticking dear to the dish but olive oil is still needed x
Shadi says
This was such an easy recipe to follow! It turned out incredible!!!! So fluffy, golden and delicious!

Chloe says
As a regular bread-baker, I found that this recipe was especially a stand out. I found it to be quite fool-proof as well; I made the foolish mistake of doing it all in one bowl instead of making the separate yeasty-water mixture (due to keenness and excitement), but it turned out AMAZING either way. So satisfyingly crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, as Ayeh promised. Plus, it was so easy to make and mess-free, I poured out the dough onto my pan with a spatula and dimpled with chopsticks (haha). This recipe is a 10/10 from me ! I'll be making it again in a larger batch next time. Thanks Ayeh! xx
Ayeh says
Such a beautiful compliment Chloe, so happy you loved it so much xxx
Apsra says
Such an amazing recipe! Had my whole kitchen smelling like fresh warm bread and rosemary! Will defo be baking this regularly!

The best smell!!! xxxx
Anne Mullaney says
I love your recipes.
The No knead Focaccia is so easy, I topped mine with olives.
If you have flour and yeast in your pantry you will never go hungry
Ayeh says
Hehe so true love that ! cxx
Karen says
Hey Ayeh, are you using standard measuring cups for the water? 🙂
Ayeh says
Hi lovely, yes thats correct standard cups 🙂 If your dough feels too wet, add a touch of flour. It should be thick and sticky xxx
Monica says
I tried baking mine with sundried tomatoes and Asiago cheese on one half and then the original rosemary & salt on the other half! Worked out amazingly - still soft in the centre and crispy on the outside! It required a slightly longer cooking time with the additional toppings but I only used 1.5 tsp thinly sliced sundried tomatoes and 2 tsp grated Asiago to ensure the bread could still rise! 5 stars thanks so much for sharing this!
Ayeh says
Love how you added two different toppings! They both sound so good! xx
Amber Luna says
Such a wonderful recipe! Easy to make and didn't last long in this household. Will make again for sure. 🙂
Ayeh says
Hehe thats the best compliment!
Rachael says
A foolproof recipe for the most perfect focaccia. Love how simple it was to make. We ate half of it in under 10 minutes, and it's something I can see myself bringing to family lunches. I topped mine with garlic butter with parmesan and rosemary. Perfect! Thank you Ayeh x
Ayeh says
The perfect dish for a family lunch! Yum that sounds so good xxxx
Leqaa says

Ayeh says
So glad you loved it Leqaa xxxx
Ali says
Really delicious! Mine stuck though.
Will use baking paper next time - cannot get it out of the dish
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, did you use a non stick dish? Its very sticky so it needs to be baked in a non stick dish or use baking paper. i have some tip on this xx
Angela says
Absolutely amazing!! Used oregano instead of rosemary and was still super tasty!
Ayeh says
YUM, oregano would be perfect too x

Emma says
Absolutely the easiest and yummiest focaccia I’ve ever made. Definitely recommend giving it a go. I love the fact that you can start this the night before and just get up the next day and it’s halfway done. Brilliant for time strapped people or if you feel you have a million things you have to do and haven’t got the time to make something delicious
Thanks Ayeh 🙂
Ayeh says
Aww so happy to hear this lovely xxx
Archer says
SO YUM! This was the easiest focaccia to make, and that’s coming from someone who freaks out whenever a recipe has yeast in it. Instantly gets put in the too hard basket . This was delicious and super quick and easy, so yummy to have with oil and seeds, as a sandwich or just on its own! Couldn’t recommend more.
Ayeh says
So glad you loved it so much Archer xxx
Suparna YS says
This is so tasty for a recipe which is so simple. 10/10. Baking time for me was longer (~40 mins) because of my oven, otherwise, recipe is on point. Following you on instagram was a great idea. I just had few questions to anyone who could answer.
1. I could not dimple the dough as satisfactorily as Ayeh did in the video, dough kept getting stuck to my fingers
2. My bottom part was not as crispy or brown (I had both top-bottom heating at 220C in oven)
I appreciate any tips!
Ayeh says
Hi lovely! For dimpling or handling the dough, always have olive oil on your fingers to stop it from sticking (check out my tips its all in there xx)
Also did you cook on the bottom level of your oven?
All ovens do have different strengths, so it might just mean you'll need to cook for 5-10 mins longer xx
Hanixch says
It turns out great, but sticks to the baking paper like glue.
I think you should not suggest using the baking paper. Now we cant eat the bottom crust as it cannot be peeled off
Ayeh says
Oh no, It shouldn't stick to your baking paper dear. The baking paper helps it from sticking to the dish.. Did you still add olive oil to the paper?
Romina says
So nice and fluffy and very easy to make.
Kisha says
This was so so good. It was my first try, but your recipe was so straightforward and the video was so much help, thank you so much! 10/10❤️
Ayeh says
So happy you loved it Kisha xx

Stephanie Fakhoury says
I have never ever ever made bread before. Never used yeast before. Found it in the pantry and mixed it with the water then started reading the tips and saw that it has to bubble or be foamy. It wasn’t. The yeast was expired so went to Woolies at 8pm and made it and it was PHENOMENAL! Will be making AGAIN AND AGAIN!
Ayeh says
Yay love this Stephanie!! xx

Ashley Townsend says
This is the simplest, fool-proof focaccia recipe! It’s become a staple in my house and goes with every meal, or even by itself. This bread takes 10 minutes of prep, but it always impresses guests at parties and makes it seem like you spent hours kneading and baking.
Ayeh says
So lovely to hear this Ashley! Hehe its the best for a party isnt it! x
Letícia Lopes @alhlts says
When I saw this recipe I immediately thought: "no way focaccia is that easy" but it IS!!!! It turned out perfect: soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside! My Brazilian family loved it and I'm surely making it again!

Thank you Ayeh ☺️
Ayeh says
Awww love this Maria!
Tahlia Bullock says
Excited to use this recipe! I’m wondering if I put crushed garlic into the flour mix will it have any effect on how the dough rises?
Ayeh says
I've never tried that dear. However I have added garlic and garlic oil on top before baking which is so yummy x
Letícia Lopes says
I'm so glad focaccia can be this easy and delicious! I made it for my brazilian family and they loved it, I'm definitely making it again!

Cassie warner says
Did someone say ‘no knead’ ?! Love that this is so easy and the toppings are endless! Kids like to use this as a pizza base but I prefer plain ol’ tomato , garlic, sea salt and rosemary
Ayeh says
Hehe love this! I love the classic plain version too 🙂
Vincy says
I recently got a grad job offer that starts tmr and decided to include fam favorites from Ayeh's recipes in the fam dinner I am hosting tonight. For the focaccia;
The EASIEST and I mean the EASIEST DOUGH MIXING I'VE EVER HAD TO DO. It does literally say 'no knead' in the recipe but I was surprised when there literally was NO KNEAD to put in a lot of effort to combine the ingredients as I do with cookie dough. I was worried the prep would take up a lot of my time. Because of this I got so excited and ended up making two doughs and left them overnight. It's now the next morning and I'm excited to check out the RISE !!
Ayeh says
Awww love this! Hehe yes, its so exciting to see the progress isnt it!
Kirsten says
So easy & absolutely delicious!
Don’t be tempted to fiddle with it too much once it’s mixed and resting, like me lol! But it still came out deliciously!!! Crunchy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside:)
Ayeh says
So true lovely, the less its touched the better. Yum, crunchy and airy is perfect!!
Suza says
Its literally the easiest thing to do! And so so delish!
Ayeh says
So glad you loved it Suza xxxx
Zoe says
This was so so good but simple - I usually avoid most baked recipes cause of the complexity of them but this was super easy yet delish, I added olives, feta, garlic and marinara sauce on mine which complemented the bread beautifully!
Ayeh says
Yay so happy you jumped out of your comfort zone and tried it lovely!!
Elle says
Absolutely amazing! I was a bit sceptical about it as it was so so easy but it was incredibly delicious! I rubbed a garlic clove on it when it was out of the oven Definitely recommend and you need to try this!!!
Ayeh says
Oh yum love that idea Elle xx
Shay says
Simple, Delicious and a Family Favourite!
This focaccia was just absolutely amazing! As a student who loves easy baking, this was the perfect recipe to make on a Sunday afternoon before study! Crunchy on the outside and so fluffy, this is by far the easiest bread recipe I've ever made. I made two variations, one with jalapeno and cheese and another with everything but the bagel seasoning! Both tasted great but the jalapeno and cheese was definitely the favorite since everyone finished it before I got to get another slice! Highly recommend this to anyone new to baking because you just can't go wrong, or even people who have been baking for time because it's such a classic! Loved this recipe Ayeh, thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

Aww they sound amazing!! So glad you loved it xxx

Such an amazing recipe! Quick and easy to follow. I’ve tried to make focaccia 3 times and failed badly. This recipe is the only one that’s worked out perfectly. Given me lots of confidence to do this recipe again. Thanks Ayeh!
Ayeh says
Aw so happy to hear this dear, so glad it turned out amazing xx
Anastasia Cunningham says
I just made this for the second time and I barely have time to get it out of the oven before my family devours it! I use white truffle olive oil and oregano to flavor mine, and it’s absolutely wonderful! Thanks for this amazing recipe!
Ayeh says
Hehe love this!! So happy your family loved it!
Bianca says

Turned out amazing!

Yay so glad to hear!
Focaccia Addict says
Thanks for a great recipe! I've made this twice in a row and it just disappears in no time! Could I just check that the measurements are US? Here in Australia our cups are slightly larger (250ml) but I don't think it's made a huge difference. Thanks a bunch!
Ayeh says
Hehe love this! I've used an Australian cup however they're only slightly larger x
Deeksha says
Amazingly easy and yummy recipe my first time baking a bread and so happy with the result Thanku
Ayeh says
Yay so happy you tried it!
Asma says
Love this recipe, crunchy on the outside soft on the inside!
I was so pleasantly surprised by how easy it was and how nice it turned out. Made it with zaatar instead of the rosemary which turned out lovely but planning to try it again with the rosemary
Highly recommended!
Ayeh says
Love the addition of adding zaatar on the top yum!

Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it. Is it possible that instead of doing the 12 hour rise in the fridge, can do that rise out of the fridge? And if so, how long for? Thank you so much for sharing your great recipes.
Josie

Elsa-Marie Evans says
Hi!
Really keen to try this recipe! Are you using US cups in this recipe? They’re different to UK, I think!
Ayeh says
Im using Australian cups but there isnt a large difference dear xxx
Sabrina Schaub says
awesome recipe - the focaccia turned out great. next time i‘ll add a bit more salt on top as i like it a bit more salty!!
Ayeh says
Hehe salt definitely gives a nice touch 🙂 So happy you loved the recipe xxx
Samantha says
This has officially become my go to focaccia recipe!! Perfectly fool proof!!! Made it for family and friends and they loved it! So much so that they’re asking for me to keep making it for them ❤️

Lydia Clark says
Very easy to make and is delicious! Far better than any store bought I have had, will definitely be making again. Aldo very versatile if you wanted to mix up the toppings
Ayeh says
Aw love this! Homemade always hits the spot differently 🙂
Asha says
Delicious and yummy
Ayeh says
Yay fresh focaccia is the best isnt it xxx
Alberta says
I just finished baking the foccacia recipe. OMG!! So easy and so GREAT! I added some roasted garlic to the dough before I put it in the pan for the 2nd rise. Amazing!
Masi Firoozi says
Love your recipes especially the no knead focaccia

Ayeh says
Aw love this!
Maria says
this recipe was so good and the crust is so crunchy and good while the inside is perfect. Love it
Ayeh says

Suze Bujcevski says
Hi Ayeh I absloutely love your focaccia recipe. It is so easy to make and turns out beautifully. My family love it. It is that good I have given the recipe to my family. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe. Never thought focaccia would be that easy to make!
Ayeh says
Aww love this Suze! So happy you all loved it so much darling xxxx
Geetha says
Honestly for the longest time I have been fearful to bake anything as my first few attempts were really bad. But I tried this recipe and fell in love. Now I am trying all sorts of baking 🙂 This recipe is so spot on and such a yummy thing to munch on too. Love Ayeh’s energy and recipes. She is just so awesome!!!
Ayeh says
This is so lovely to hear Geetha! Its one of my favourites too 🙂
Serene says
First time making focaccia and this recipe was perfect! Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. I accidentally let it proof super long for the first proof (like 15-ish hours) but it still turned out fine. It came out of the oven about 30 mins ago and we've already eaten half of it.
Ayeh says
Oh yay love this Serene! Haha thats the best compliment! We always cant stop eating it fresh too 🙂
Suzanne says
Omg!!!! 10/10!!!! I may need to make a 2nd batch as I’ve all but polished off the first.
Ayeh Manfre says
Hahaha love this!!! You cant stop at just one piece right 🙂
Kay says
I’m expecting a big noooo!!!
But has anyone made this with GF four if so what brand , can’t imagine anyone saying yes if was amazing but thought I’d just check
Ayeh Manfre says
I haven't tested it myself, but there are some reviews from people that have and it has worked! Check them out for some guidance 🙂
Sally says
Aren't you supposed to leave the dough to rise in a warm place? I'm confused why your recipe directions say to put it IN the fridge??? Perhaps it's a mistake? Maybe you meant to say, ON the fridge? I hope so, lol
Ayeh Manfre says
Its an overnight proof which ferments better in the fridge for the first proof 🙂 the second proof is in a warm place
Vicki says
Second time I’ve made this now and both times my guests demolished them! This bread is sensational. Thank you
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yay!! What a lovely compliment! So glad all of your guests loved it so much Vicki xxx
Lisarna Wynyard says
This is so easy and so beautiful. I made some Dukkah the night before I made this and we had the focaccia warm out of the oven with the Dukkah. It was divine - Thank you 🙂
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh what a perfect combo with Dukkah yum!!! So happy you loved it xxxx
Mike Parla says
Very simple, little clean up and fantastic result. I've made a ton of focaccia and this recipe is the best.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh so lovely to hear!!! 🙂
Maria says
Super easy, super yummy!!!
Thanks Ayeh!
Ayeh Manfre says
You are most welcome Maria 🙂
George says
Excellent, simple, and quick recipe! I just finished making it for the first time, and it came out perfect! Just 10 minutes later, almost half is gone! Thank you!
One observation: I used a Pyrex pan, and even though I pre-oiled it, the focaccia still stuck to the sides and the bottom, and I had to work it off carefully, with a spatula. I think a non-stick pan, or wax paper would have been better.
Ayeh Manfre says
Haha yes it never lasts long right 🙂 So happy it turned out so great! Yes thats correct, non stick pans are always best to use to prevent it sticking
Vern says
With your recipe, how many serving and how many calories?
Thank you, it looks delicious
Ayeh Manfre says
The nutritional table is at the bottom of the recipe and based on 8 servings 🙂
Mirs says
2 cups of water…US cups? I live in Australia.
Cheers
Ayeh Manfre says
Both will be fine as they are quite similar in mls 🙂
Nora says
Excelente receta! Queda deliciosa
Ayeh Manfre says
🙂
Jana says
I was so nervous about making this. I have never made any sort of bread or used yeast at all.
It turned out great and only needed 15 minutes to cook in my oven. So glad I gave it a try!
Side note: I was really confused about the wait for the yeast to bubble in the lukewarm water. - my yeast didn’t bubble however, I waited until it was active (creaming kind of texture at the top of the water, between 5-10 minutes).
Thanks for the amazing recipe 🙂
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful Jana!! Its so easy right, so happy you gave it a go 🙂
Mary Ann says
I tried this recipe twice and both were fails. The first time I put it in the fridge for 12 hours and it didn't rise or triple in size. The second time I left it out and it didn't rise or triple or double in size. Not sure what I did wrong. I used all purpose flour and quick rise instant yeast. I was really disappointed.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, that doesn't sound right Mary. If the dough isn't rising or changing it all, it sounds like it could be an issue with the yeast. I'd suggest to use a new batch of yeast as the yeast is a crutial ingredient to the recipe. Let me know how you go 🙂
Judy says
Hi Ayeh,
I just made two focaccia bread’s for the first time. I was wondering if I could leave one on the counter instead of putting it in the refrigerator to rise? I always thought it had to be in a warm place! I am off to make the bread dip now! I am glad to have found your delicious recipes online!Happy New Years!
Ayeh Manfre says
As its a long proof overnight, its best to keep in the fridge for the first proof as it helps with the fermentation and texture. Oh yay the dip is the perfect combo!
Kristy says
This is so easy and DELICIOUS!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Ayeh Manfre says
You are so very welcome 🙂
Lana says
Great crunch and texture, I found it a bit yeasty tasting though, I think I’d use a bit less next time. Now to experiment with toppings!
Ayeh Manfre says
The crunch is the best part isnt it 🙂 It shouldn't taste yeasty though, it could be the type of yeast or maybe the amount. Yes the toppings are endless!!
Sharon Stephens says
I am a bread making novice and this recipie was absolutely wonderful. The photos and instructions are spot on. Looking forward to making more recipes with Ayeh!
Miloš Petrović says
Excellent!
Arielle says
I am following everything to a T but my dough keeps coming out liquidy, I don't know what I am doing wrong....
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, it shouldn't be liquidy, it should be thick and sticky. It sounds like it needs more flour. Are you weighing the flour amount? Its always best to weigh flour rather than using cups
Lia says
I’m crying right now! I have an intolerance to gluten. Can I make this with a gluten free flour?? It looks so delicious!
Ayeh Manfre says
I havent tested it myself but I can see from some reviews that it works! Check out some of the comments for some info xx
Tiffany says
This bread was great. I baked it in a glass baking dish, which was coated in olive oil. It was very difficult to get out, but I managed to do it. I will definitely make this again, but will use parchment paper next time. Made this at altitude of 5280 with no adjustments. Thank you.
Ayeh Manfre says
So happy you loved it so much Tiffany! Yes make sure a non stick pan as it can get stuck otherwise xxx
Kimi says
This was an easy recipe to follow. The focaccia turned out great and tastes really good. The “waiting to rise” period is long, but worth it. The plus is -if you make it yourself, there’s no preservatives and you can control the amount of salt.
If I could leave a picture/video I would.
Ayeh Manfre says
Hehe so true!
Sandra Thomas says
I made this with 100% whole wheat flour, it turned out delicious
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful to hear that!!
Lana says
This recipe was great and so easy - I didn’t have any rosemary so I used parsley. Turned out perfect and was a hit with my family!! Ps - this was my first time trying to make focaccia.
Ayeh Manfre says
So happy you loved it Lana!
Alyssa says
I’ve made this recipe twice now and I can’t get the dough to rise! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 🙁
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no sorry to hear, it could be the yeast. If its expired or a bad batch it wont work as yeast has a mind of its own sometimes. Also make sure the water is warm and not too hot.
Christine says
Wow! This was really great! Will make it over and over!
Ayeh Manfre says
Yay!
Angelina says
What if you leave it for 8-10 hours the second time?
Ayeh Manfre says
Should be fine 🙂
Ricki says
First time making it last week, first time making bread in general and I am sooooo impressed with myself!! Thank you for this recipe im making it again today and getting creative with toppings. Im obsessed.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yay so happy to hear!
Rose Marie says
I just made this after seeing the little video. I HAD to make this. It was so good. The whole family loved it. Yummy . This is a keeper.
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful to hear yay!!
Linda says
This is seriously so easy. I keep caramelized onions and cooked bacon in the freezer. It was so delicious. I will keep this and make over and over. Thank you.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh wow that would have been amazing!
Cheryl D says
I have no clue what I did wrong. Weighed the flour followed instructions. Mixed 2 cup water with yeast and sugar but when combining dry and wet mixtures it was way way too dry. Had to add lot more water to get it to be sticky. It's in the fridge for overnight now, we will see what happens.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, it should be quite thick and sticky but not dry. How did it turn out?
Enrico says
A very good recipe.
Can you give me some advice?
How do you make the rosemary stay on the foccacia and not fall off?
Thank you.
Ayeh Manfre says
Gently press the rosemary into the bread when you add on top x
Ari says
Yummmmmm! My family LOVED it!
I definitely need to read the recipe more carefully as I almost misread 500g as two cups but caught the mistake luckily.
I personally feel it needs more salt in the bread.
Wanda says
I made this bread and it was fabulous. So unbelievably easy.
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Wanda!
Jaime Skistad says
Mine did not turn our lien this. All the cheese just melted into a pool of grossness. What did I do wrong
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Jaime, what cheese do you mean? There is no cheese in this recipe
Niitya says
First time making focaccia and this recipe turned out so well! It was perfect and tasted so good ❤️
Ayeh Manfre says
YAY!
Jeanine says
I’ve tried this recipe twice now and both times threw an oily mess of dough in the trash. It does not rise in the refrigerator!
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no that doesnt sound right, it rises perfectly in the fridge for the first proof. Have you tested the yeast? Its always best to test the yeast first to ensure its active. I have some tips on this x
Annie says
Can you let this rise during the day on the counter or does it need to rise in the fridge? Does it make a difference? Thank you!
Ayeh Manfre says
The first rise needs to be in the fridge which is best for the fermentation on this dough:)
Haideh says
Hello, thanks for the recipe, but I could not find the measures! I would really appreciate if you Could kindly tell me how much flour, yeast and water, & boiled water is needed for this recipe please?
Warm regards
Haideh
Ayeh Manfre says
The measurements are all at the bottom of the page in the recipe card xx
Sherry says
Easy and Wonderful. Thank you.
Ayeh Manfre says
Yay great to hear !
ip says
amazing recipe! only thing i’d change is adding a final rise after dimpling, i may be misreading but i can’t see that in the recipe and i found that if i baked straight after dimpling it would make a pretty flat bread with no airy texture 🙂
Ayeh Manfre says
So happy you liked the recipe 🙂 Oh no sorry to hear this, it shouldnt flatten out from the dimpling as the bread should have risen quite high beforehand. Make sure to allow the second proof to double in size which should take 2-4 hours . I hope this helps xxx
Ewa says
I made it! I love it!
Thank You for this perfect recipe❤️
Best wishes from Poland
Ayeh Manfre says
So happy you loved it Ewa xxx
Rachel says
Is it possible to use spelt flour?
Ayeh Manfre says
I havnt tried myself sorry Rachel to know how the texture will be x
Anu says
Such a delicious and fool- proof recipe!! Will keep making it for sure! Xx
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful to hear Anu 🙂
Kathleen says
Would this recipe work with gluten free flours?
Ayeh Manfre says
I havnt tried myself however there are some comments from those who have 🙂
Joan says
I am interested to see the reply. I used gluten free and the dough did not rise. Not sure if the flour was the problem.
Mark says
Fantastic bread and too easy!!!
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful to hear!
Marissa says
Hello! Is it okay if the first proof is closer to 20 hours or is that way too long? My evenings are really busy, so it’d be easier for me to start it in the middle of the day and start the second proof the next morning.
Ayeh Manfre says
It should be fine, I've left it about 16 hours once myself but I havnt tested it at 20 hours x
Joan says
My dough did not rise. I used gluten free flour. That could be the reason. I will try again.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, I havnt tested GF flour myself but there are some comments on this if you read through. If it didnt rise at all, the yeast is the main problem. Try a new batch of yeast xx
Dawn says
This was so easy and fantastic to make! As soon as it came out of the oven, the fam gathered around ready to dive in! We ate half of the bread before dinner was served.
I used Penzey's Bavarian spice instead of the rosemary as it is our favorite!
Thanks for such a great recipe! The request came in to start another dough for tomorrow halfway into this one!
Ayeh Manfre says
What a lovely compliment! So happy you and your family loved it so much! Now you need to make another batch along with my Bread Oil to go with it xx
Dawn says
I'm on it!! Making more dough today! I will definitely check out the Oil recipe! Thank you!
Ayeh Manfre says
Hope you love the Bread Oil Dawn, enjoy and let me know what you think x
Stephen Stanfield says
I followed directions and took it out of refrigerator this am after being in all night. There are bubbles in it but it did not triple in size. Letting it come to room temp . Looks like it is going to be flat. New jar of Instant Yeast. Any ideas where I went wrong? I am not a bread maker, but trying to learn.
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Stephen, oh no sorry to hear. If it hasn't risen at all and didn't change in size, it unfortunately is the yeast. It has a mind of its own and does it sometimes if it wasn't a good batch. Make sure the water isn't too hot also as this can affect the yeast and try again. Let me know how you go, happy to help x
Sacha says
This was lovely! Homemade bread is so delicious! Thank you!
Ayeh Manfre says
You cant beat homemade bread right 🙂
Sacha says
Very delicious and easy to follow! Thank you!! We didn't have rosemary, but we did have thyme. Can't wait to try it with other herbs and veggies!
Ayeh Manfre says
Thyme would have been amazing too! The toppings are endless 🙂
Brice says
This was my first time making focaccia and it turned out perfectly! Thank you!!
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Brice!!!
Judy says
Amazing and simple!
Ayeh Manfre says
Yay!
Melonie says
Can the dough be left on the fridge longer than 12hrs?
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Melonie, yes it can. How long are you thinking?
David says
I use this recipe as a pizza base. I add passata with oil, salt and pepper, with pepperoni and thinly sliced onion and cook for 20 minutes then add mozzarella and cook for a couple more minutes. It’s so easy and delicious!
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yum love this!
Syrita says
Would it be possible to substitute the yeast for sour dough starter? If so do you know how? Thank you! New subscriber here.
Ayeh Manfre says
I havnt tried this to know lovely sorry xxx
Kate says
I have made this twice now and it’s everything I can do not to eat the entire thing! So easy and directions are perfect!
Ayeh Manfre says
Haha love this Kate!
Barbra says
How many cups of flour = 500 grams?
Ayeh Manfre says
Its about 4 Cups and 2 tablespoons. Its always recommended to use scales for measuring to be sure xx
Siena says
Mine has already been in the oven for 30 min and the top isn’t crisp at all?? What did I do wrong when I followed every step 🙁
Ayeh Manfre says
It could need a little longer depending on your oven strength Siena. Was it nice and golden?
Makayla says
Hi Ayeh! Would it be okay to use high altitude flour in this recipe? And should I alter the amount of yeast? I live at ~5,000ft and haven’t baked bread not at sea level:) Thanks!
Ayeh Manfre says
I've never tried lovely to know I'm sorry x
Pris says
I used a Wiltshire ceramic oven dish and despite putting tons olive oil to the base and sides, my bread got stuck so bad! Had to scrap it out in pieces. I would definitely recommend putting baking paper.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no sorry to hear. It must be a non-stick dish or yes baking paper will also work , i have some tips on this x
Kathryn says
Kia ora from Aotearoa New Zealand 🙂 I saw this as a video on FB then looked recipe up online - made it today [well started yesterday, finished today], it was SUPER easy and looks amazing. Thanks for sharing! Ngā mihi nui [thanks very much], nā Kathryn
Ayeh Manfre says
You're most welcome Kathryn! So happy you loved it xx
Susie Bailey says
I love this focaccia and it was super simple. I never thought baking bread could be so easy and so delicious! My husband said it’s the best he had ever had! Try it with Ayeh’s bread dipping oil. Yum!
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yay! If the hubby approved then that's a big tick!!!
Jerry says
I think your the greatest and prettiest chef I’ve ever seen
Ayeh Manfre says
So kind of you!
Bob says
Love your recipe for Focaccia and bread dipping oil. I’ve made it a few times now. I used a balsamic vinegar glaze the last time in the bread oil when I ran out of balsamic vinegar and it turned out very good.
Ayeh Manfre says
Thrilled to hear Bob!!
Shaylee says
This is everything and more! I can't believe how easy this was, it is absolutely delicious!!!
Ayeh Manfre says
Thrilled to hear this Shaylee!! xxx
Ashley S says
Um…I followed your instructions, and because I’m new to yeast baking-followed them to a “T”. Well I left my dough in the fridge to proof overnight as per the instructions, and yet my dough hadn’t grown one bit. I then remembered that yeast won’t rise in cold temperatures. The optimal temp for it is like 80 degrees. So why do the instructions say to put it in the refrigerator overnight?
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, sorry to hear this. This is usually caused if the yeast wasnt good. The overnight proof in the fridge is done for fermentation. Try with a new batch of yeast and make sure to use warm water, not hot water xx
BarbaraFJ says
Just got my bread out of the oven and my apartment smells amazing. I did not use a nonstick pan and I am so sorry because it stuck to the bottom. After letting it cool, I tasted a piece, and it is delicious! I will definitely be making it again using a nonstick pan so that it doesn't stick. Thank you, Ayeh, for this easy recipe for one of my favorite breads.
Ayeh Manfre says
So happy you loved it Barbara! The smell is amazing isnt it 🙂 Oh yes, the dough is very sticky and will stick to the pan. Next time it will be perfect!
Ian Campbell says
I made this and it’s amazing! I want to add some feta, cherry tomatoes ect. What stage should I add these??
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh yay great to hear! You can add cherry tomatoes as the toppings before being baked. I havnt tried adding feta myself to know how it turns out xx
DenyLammardo says
Love this recipe! I made it quick rise-warm oven for four hours vs. 15 hours over night (I needed it for dinner) then let it rise in the pan on a warm stove top for an hour!!!
delicious - Mangia!!
Ayeh Manfre says
Thrilled to hear this Deny!!
Ana says
I just put my dough in the fridge. Would it be okay if I left it in there for longer than 12 hours? I don’t think I’ll be home in time to take it out. Or could I let the second proof be longer than 4 hours?
Ayeh Manfre says
Yes sure, a few extra hours on either proof is fine x
Pama Deolalikar says
Can I bake this focaccia in a cast iron pan? or do you think it will stick to the cast iron pan? Many thanks.
Ayeh Manfre says
I must admit I havnt tried this myself. However It does have a tendency to stick, so its probably best to also use baking paper if you're wishing to use a cast iron xxx
Laurie says
I tried making this with the ingredients listed & it was just water… I used the amounts listed & it was too much water.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no sorry to hear, it shoudnt be watery at all. Should be a very sticky dough. Did you measure the flour by weight or cups?
Alecia says
This was amazing!! It is definitely a no-fail recipe and better than any bakery bread that you would have to buy ahead of time for your dinner. It needs 10 stars! Thank you for sharing! One more thing…I used 4 cups of flour…for those asking about 500 grams.
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful to hear lovely!!! So happy you love it so much too xxx
Lisa Perez says
Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
Ayeh Manfre says
You can, just ensure you activate it first in the water 🙂
Liz says
This was sooo good!!! The recipe is so well explained, I followed it exactly as you say and it was a hit!!! Thank you for the recipe!!!
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Liz!!
Liz says
Forgot to rate it, this is a great recipe, it came out delicious! Just make sure to put parchment paper because I didn’t and it stuck to the bottom…live and learn lol! Thank you again for this recipe!
Ayeh Manfre says
Thank you so much lovely, yes depending on the dish you use sometimes it will need it 🙂
Stephanie says
Love, love, love this recipe!! It's soooo easy and delicious! Thank you for posting
Ayeh Manfre says
So thrilled you love this so much Stephanie!!
REBECCA BATISTICH says
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I added 4 cups of flour, 2 cups of warm water, waited for the yeast to bubble before adding to flour. But the dough is super dry. When I watch the video it looks like you have less flour then me and more water. I have added more water but I don't know whether it will work.
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi lovely, with making any bread its always best to measure the flour by weight to ensure you have the right amount. Do you have kitchen scales to use? Yes the dough needs to be very sticky and tacky. Let me know how you go 🙂
Heather Lahman says
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS RECIPE
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IVE MADE IT. ITS SO FUN AND EASY. I ALWAYS MAKE 2 BATCHES
Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Ayeh Manfre says
Thrilled to hear this lovely!!!
NIA WILHITE says
This bread was amazing and very easy to make. I made the bread the night before and it was very hard not to eat before the dipping oil was made. I will defiantly make this recipe on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing.
Ayeh Manfre says
Hehe love this! So happy you loved it and tried it with the dipping oil 🙂
JENSTAR says
Soooooo good - super easy - love it
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful to hear you loved it 🙂
Sally says
I loved this recipe - as all of your recipes- could I put some fibre into this focaccia- any ideas ?!
I know it’s probably not authentic but I think I could make this instead of buying bread - it’s so delicious and easy - of course your instructions make it easy !!
Ayeh Manfre says
You can try and make it with wholewheat flour 🙂 Its so easy to make xx
Jenny Tina Maddison says
Finished making focaccia this morning, ready for lunch, yum.
Thanks, Ayeh.
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Jenny yum!
ALB says
When I made this focaccia the first time it lasted all of 5 mins and it was gone. I decided to bring it to my future inlaws and they are Italian and ever since, I am asked everytime if I brought more. Nonna said it's better than the bakery where she buys hers.

Hello
I was wondering if you can leave in the refrigerator longer than 12 hours? Thank you
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi dear yes you can, I've left it up to 15-16 hours myself xx
Michele says
Best focaccia recipe I have found. Great baking every time! My go-to recipe.
Ayeh Manfre says
What a great compliment! So happy to hear xx
Moeha says
I've made this so many times with lots of success. My old workplace had an oven so I'd prep the dough in a tupperware the night before, let it get back to room temp on the way to work, let it rise in a baking tray for a few hours in the morning and bake before lunchtime. I've done it for office potluck too and my coworkers LOVED it.
I made it for a get-together yesterday and my bf told me this was the best batch yet.
I decided on a whim so I didn't follow the proofing-times fully but I did the 1st rise in the fridge for 2-3 hours, let it come to room temp for about 1.5h then 2nd rise in a baking tray for about 2h. So bouncy and moist.
Thank you for this recipe, Ayeh!
Ayeh Manfre says
This comment made me so so happy to hear!!!!!!
Belle says
Love this recipe!! It’s super easy and tasty. Friends and family request it all the time.
Ayeh Manfre says
What a lovely compliment!!! So glad it was a hit x
LaurenF98 says
This recipe is incredible!! I’ve tried many different focaccia recipes and this beats them all by a mile. I usually just leave it on the bench to triple in size and find this works well. Tonight I tried using the dough as a pizza base and it worked so damn well, I just spilt the dough into 4 and then spread them onto baking trays and then added toppings and cooked! Well worth a try!!!
Ayeh Manfre says
Sounds amazing Lauren!! So happy you love the recipe so much and have also been experimenting with it 😉
JENNI says
So simple, so tasty, Love this recipe, especially with your dipping oil recipe. Thank you Ayeh ❤️
Ayeh Manfre says
So glad you love both the focaccia and the bread oil Jenni 🙂
Jessica says
Can this be made with gluten-free
Ayeh Manfre says
I havnt tried myself, but there are plenty of comments from people that have 🙂
Jade says
Hi! I am currently in the middle of trying this recipe, I was just wondering if the second 2-4 proofing season is crucial or can I skip it if need be. I have a shift at work tomorrow and it’s a bit tricky fitting it into my schedule haha. Thank you!
Ayeh Manfre says
Hi Jade! The second proof is needed, but if you are short on time, leave it in a warm place in the house and you can reduce the proof time x
Jade says
Thanks so much!!
Denise says
I have made this countless times with wonderful success. It's so freaking easy, and tastes amazing!

Amazing to hear!
Birdy says
I sincerely love this recipe! I make it every holiday (my loaf is currently proofing on the counter for Easter lunch)
I usually have my niece help with pressing in the dimples or adding the garnishes and it’s such a fun activity to do together
Ayeh Manfre says
How amazing to hear!! I'm about to pop mine in the oven too 🙂 Happy Easter lovely x
Bulelwa Nzo says

Debbie says

Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Debbie!! Its a family favorite here too x
S says
Can I half this recipe?
Ayeh Manfre says
Yes certainly 🙂
Uma says
Can I added more sugar than 1 tbsp to the dough to give a bit more sweeter taste ?
Ayeh Manfre says
The sugar is for the fermentation and golden color on top 🙂 I haven't tested adding more for a sweeter taste xx
Sue says
Made this numerous times and always a success.
Tasty and delicious, thank you for sharing
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Sue! So happy its a staple recipe for you xx
Cherine says
Can this recipe proof for longer than 12 hours with good results? Would letting it rest 18-24 hours still yield a yummy focaccia?
Ayeh Manfre says
You sure can, for the first proof you can leave it longer in the fridge and keep the 2nd proof for the same 2-4 hours 🙂
Dawn P says
The first time I made this, it was finished baking before the meal, we stood around the island and nearly finished it off before dinner, it was that good. I've made it a few more times since, and just yesterday had a request to bring it to dinner tonight! We bake it at our friends' house so we can eat it hot out of the oven... which is the best way!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe! So easy to make and delicious to eat!
Side note: I use Penzey's Bavarian seasoning instead of the rosemary! If you have never tried it, I highly suggest you do!
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh I absolutely love this message! There's nothing better than enjoying fresh focaccia right out of the oven whilst it's nice and hot with friends. So happy you all love this recipe Dawn 🙂
Meg says
This is beautiful every time! It's an impressive go-to. This time I topped with flaky salt, rosemary and oregano, and some tiny grape tomatoes, not too heavy, and it's gorgeous (though next time I would probably add flaky salt after the 2nd rise, right before it goes in the oven, as it was, it just dissolved on the super moist dough while rising). Love it, thanks Ayeh!
Ayeh Manfre says
Wonderful to hear you love this recipe and make it often yay! Yes always add the salt and any herbs after the second rise, before it goes in the oven 🙂
Miriam says
I’ve been making this every weekend since I found the recipe. It really is crazy easy. This time I doubled the recipe and filled up an entire oven tray. My family loves it too.
Ayeh Manfre says
Amazing to hear Miriam!! So happy you all love it so much 🙂
Melinda L Fulmer says

Amazing bread, best I have ever tasted! Make sure to make more then one
Ayeh Manfre says
Yay so lovely to hear xx
Tina says
Thank you for the recipe. It works great but when I try it with GF bread flour, the mixture is not as wet and seems more dry. Should I add more water to it?
Ayeh Manfre says
So glad you loved it Tina! I haven't tried it with GF flour myself, but there are some reviews from others using GF flour maybe you can check out. If the dough seems dry, I would add more water 🙂
Nicole says
Just made this for the first time today. So good! Super easy to follow the recipe and very tasty! I’ve never made focaccia before but this will be the recipe I use over and over! Can’t wait to try with different flavors on the topping. Thank you!
Ayeh Manfre says
So lovely to hear!!! The topping ideas are endless aren't they 🙂

Cathy says
Made this and was simple. Except it stuck. Took awhile to get it out of the pan.
Ayeh Manfre says
Oh no, ensure you use a non stick baking dish or you can also use parchment paper - I have some tips on the blog about this to help
Jane says
Can you use this for pizza crust?
Delish btw!!
Ayeh Manfre says
You sure can 🙂 I have a focaccia pizza recipe here too : recipe
