Easiest Sourdough Focaccia Recipe (No Knead)
Description
The Easiest Sourdough Focaccia Recipe combines sourdough starter with lukewarm water and honey to activate natural fermentation. Flour and salt are incorporated to form a sticky dough that requires no kneading. Instead, the dough undergoes a long fermentation at room temperature, developing complex flavor and structure over 12 hours.
After the fermentation, the dough is transferred to a generously oiled baking pan, where it is gently stretched to fill the pan. A final rest allows the dough to puff before baking. The high oven temperature produces a golden-brown crust with slightly crisp edges and a tender, chewy crumb inside typical of focaccia breads.
This focaccia suits a range of uses, from an accompaniment to soups and salads to the base for sandwiches. It’s best served fresh out of the oven but can be reheated shortly in the oven to restore crispness. The no-knead process simplifies bread baking without sacrificing texture.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup sourdough starter
- 1 1/2 cups water lukewarm
- 1 tbsp honey
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil for baking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the sourdough starter with the lukewarm water and honey.
- Add in the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir to combine.
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Let it sit for at least 12 hours at room temperature.
- The next morning, oil a large (9x13 inch) baking pan. Move the dough to the baking pan. Lightly stretch it by poking your fingers all over.
- Cover and let the dough rest for an hour. Gently stretch the dough again with your fingers until the dough reaches all the edges of the pan.
- Bake the bread at 425°F for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
