List of Ingredients






1 loaf

5 cups flour

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons instant yeast

6 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups water, at room temperature

• Mix all ingredients by hand for 12 minutes. The dough is very wet. Put in refrigerator overnight in a container that is three times the volume of the dough. The dough can stay refrigerated from eight to 36 hours.

• The next day, take the dough out of the fridge and bring to room temperature, which will take about two hours.

• Drizzle olive oil liberally on the inside of a 17- by 12-inch pan. Place dough into pan and gradually stretch dough to almost filling the pan.

• Again, drizzle olive oil liberally over top of dough and top with ingredients to your liking.

• After topping bread, let rise in warm place for 45 minutes.

• Bake at 450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Slide bread from pan onto a cooling rack.


SUGGESTED FOCACCIA TOPPINGS:

• Rosemary and coarse salt

• Black olives and asiago cheese

• Walnuts and blue cheese

• Garlic and Parmesan
