A simple focaccia recipe that takes only 5 minutes to mix, requiring no special equipment or tricky techniques. Just a 9x13-inch baking pan and your fingertips for dimpling.
Whisk warm water and honey. Sprinkle yeast on top of water. Cover bowl with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes until foamy.
Add extra virgin olive oil, salt, and flour. Mix well, then cover the bowl with a towel for 15 minutes.
Stretch and pull the dough, cover again, and let rest for 15 minutes. Repeat this stretch and pull step once more.
After the final stretch and pull, proof the dough in the bowl for an additional 1.5 hours.
Transfer the dough to a 9x13-inch pan lined with parchment paper and oil.
Fold the dough into thirds, then turn the dough longways.
Proof for another 1.5 hours.
Drizzle with oil and toppings of your choice (such as minced garlic, rosemary, flakey salt).
Gently dimple the dough with your fingers (dimpling more will result in a flatter bread).
Immediately bake at 430 F on the bottom rack for 19 minutes.
Enjoy!
