Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish or rimmed sheet

Ingredients

  • 4 cups (512g) all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (10g) salt
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) instant yeast
  • 2 cups lukewarm water
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  • Add the warm water and stir until a dough forms.

Step 2: First Rise

  • Lightly oil the dough and bowl.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 12 hours or up to 3 days.

Step 3: Second Rise

  • Oil a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Gently remove the dough from the bowl and place it in the prepared baking dish.
  • Coat the dough ball with the olive oil in the dish.
  • Cover the dough with oiled plastic wrap.
  • Let the dough rest for 4 hours.

Step 4: Prepare the Dough

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Lightly oil your fingertips.
  • Press your fingertips into the dough, creating dimples.
  • Move the dough to the corners of the baking dish if needed, so that the dough is evenly distributed in the dish.
  • Evenly spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil across the top of the dough.
  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Bake

  • Place the focaccia dough in the center of a preheated oven.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

Storage Instructions:

  • Countertop Instructions: Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to three days. Avoid storing it in a large ziplock; this will cause the crispy exterior to become soft.
  • Freezer Instructions: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer-safe bag for up to one month.
