Print Recipe

A simple no-knead focaccia bread with a crispy rosemary and Parmesan crust, perfect for spring gatherings and easy homemade baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (3 g) instant yeast
  • 1 ½ tsp (9 g) salt
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) warm water (about 100°F / 38°C)
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil, plus extra for drizzling and pan
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well with a wooden spoon.
  2. Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until dough is shaggy, sticky, and all flour is hydrated, about 2 minutes.
  3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or damp towel and let dough rest at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours until bubbly and doubled in size.
  4. Generously oil a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan.
  5. With well-oiled hands, scrape dough onto the prepared pan and spread evenly to edges. If dough resists, let rest 5 minutes and try again.
  6. Cover dough lightly and let rise again for 1 to 2 hours until slightly puffy.
  7. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) about 20 minutes before baking. Place rack in middle position.
  8. Press fingertips gently into dough to create dimples. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over surface.
  9. Sprinkle chopped rosemary and grated Parmesan evenly on top. Finish with a pinch of coarse sea salt.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy on edges.
  11. Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use quality extra virgin olive oil for best flavor and crispy crust. Wet or oil your hands before handling sticky dough to prevent sticking. Avoid overworking dough to keep air bubbles intact. If browning too fast, tent with foil after 15 minutes. Dough can be refrigerated after first rise and baked within 24 hours. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.
