How to Bake the Best Focaccia Bread You’ve Ever Tasted

This focaccia is going to blow your mind! Whole wheat flour meets a crispy crust and soft, airy interior, creating a bread that’s rustic, flavorful, and impossible to resist.
Simple, no-knead, and absolutely delicious – your kitchen will smell heavenly, and every bite will feel like a treat!

To make this no knead focaccia bread, you will need the following ingredients:

* Water: 1 cup (235ml)
* Fresh yeast: 1 tsp. (5g) or dry yeast: ½ tsp. (3g)
* Bread flour: 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp. (200g)
* Whole wheat flour: ¾ cup (100g)
* Salt: 1 tsp (6g)
* Olive oil for greasing and drizzling
* Fresh rosemary, coarse salt (for topping)

The process is very simple and fun, and you don’t need any special equipment or skills. You just need to mix the ingredients, let the dough rest and rise, make a couple of simple stretches (they really take less than a minute), spread it on a baking tray, dimple it with your fingers, sprinkle some water and salt, and bake it in a hot oven. That’s it!

This focaccia is really amazing
Whole wheat flour gives an incredible taste
Have a look inside!
The color and flavor are amazing
Water: 1 cup (235ml)
Fresh yeast: 1 tsp. (5g) or dry yeast: ½ tsp. (3g)
Mix well
Bread flour: 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp. (200g)
Whole wheat flour – ¾ cup (100g)
Salt: 1 tsp (6 g)
Mix until there’s no more dry flour
Just mix, no need to… knead
Cover and let rest for 30 minutes
With a wet hand stretch the 4 sides of the dough
And fold to the center
This will strengthen the gluten network
Lift the dough and slap it back
I call this technique “lift and slap”
Let rest for 30 more minutes
Repeat the steps from before
Stretch and fold the 4 sides
Lift and slap
Let proof overnight in the fridge
or on the counter until the dough doubles in size
12-16 hours later
A quick stretch and fold
And a couple of slaps
Let rest for 30 minutes
It needs it to reach room temperature
Grease the pan with olive oil
Be generous
Spread the oil
Transfer the dough into the pan
Try to spread the dough
Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover the entire pan
Allow dough to relax for 5 minutes
Drizzle a little olive oil
Spread the dough more
Cover and let rise for 45 minutes
Fresh rosemary
Spread the leaves on top
A drizzle of olive oil
Sprinkle a little water
Now for the fun part
Dimple the focaccia with your fingers
Sprinkle just a little coarse salt on top
Bake at 430°F (220°C) for 20 minutes
It sizzles!
I really love the rustic color
Crispy outside
Let’s see inside
Whole wheat flour really works wonders
