Weekend Rosemary & Olive Focaccia

A high-hydration, olive-oil-rich focaccia that comes together over a lazy Saturday. Dimpled, herby, and impossibly good warm.

Focaccia is the most forgiving sourdough bake in our rotation. The dough is wet, the shaping is minimal, and the pan does most of the work.

We use a generous glug of good olive oil in the pan — enough that the bottom almost fries as it bakes — and finish with flaky salt and fresh rosemary just out of the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this same-day?

+

Yes. Skip the cold retard and let it proof at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours after mixing. The flavor is a touch milder.
