Many home cooks are intimated by making homemade bread, but this easy, versatile sourdough focaccia recipe that’s inspired by the classic Italian focaccia is just what you need to get it started! Unlike classic focaccia, it calls for a sourdough starter, which adds a depth of flavor that you won’t get from store-bought focaccia loaves of bread. Regular bread uses yeast, which is then left to do its work and create a rise in the bread. Using the sourdough starter means that the yeast is already at work, resulting in a more flavorful, chewy bread.
The flavor of the bread is slightly tangy thanks to the sourdough, with a crispy, chewy exterior. It’s fluffy on the inside with bubbly holes on the surface, which are created with no special equipment—only your fingers! For this recipe, you need the basic bread ingredients (flour, water, salt) and of course, the sourdough starter! Serve with extra virgin olive oil for dipping.
