How To Make Sourdough Focaccia
This sourdough recipe is easy to make. First, the sourdough starter is worked into the dough. The dough goes through several resting periods, which creates the perfect texture and flavor in your Sourdough Focaccia. After these resting periods, the dough is added to the baking tray and pressed with the fingers to create small indentations. After a drizzle of olive oil, the bread is baked until cooked through.
Tips
If your dough is not rising, your sourdough starter may have expired. Use a fresh starter and try again!
If the dough is sticky, don’t be tempted to add more flour, this will result in a dense dough.
To prevent the dough from sticking to the baking pan, use enough olive oil.
With a few basic ingredients, this bread might not be the healthiest, but it is easy to make and delicious! For a healthier version, use wholewheat flour.
If you’re in a hurry, you can use pizza dough to make the sourdough focaccia.
Make focaccia Genovese by adding thinly sliced onions and pitted green olives to the bread surface before baking.
