Overnight Focaccia

Name: Overnight Focaccia
Prep time: 960 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 990 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 500 g Strong bread flour; 15 g Salt; 1 1/2 tsp Fast-action dried yeast; 350 ml Water; 30-40 ml Olive oil; 100 g Pitted olives; 1-2 sprigs Rosemary; 20 ml Olive oil; 1 pinch Flaky salt

I'd never made focaccia before and this overnight version is so simple. It's packed with flavour even without the delicious olives and hints of rosemary on top. You have those lovely big air pockets throughout and a gorgeous chew from the crisp, golden exterior. If you're in the mood for some fresh sandwich bread that's a little different you need to try it. It's as handy as mixing the night before and then into the oven for lunch.

Step 1

Get your flour and salt sifted into a large bowl. Make sure it's large as the dough will quadruple in size. Add your yeast and pour in your water, mixing to create a sticky dough. You'll see from the video what consistency it will be. If you're using electronic scales be sure to use those for your water measurement as well.

I bake Focaccia quite often, your recipe is very similar & easy! In this instance I baked the focaccia fully, then put on the sauce, cheese and toppings and put it back in the oven to melt & get bubbly 😋 You can also make sweet versions by layering in things like Cinnamon sugar and topping it with cooked, spiced apples, it’s so versatile and so good!
