5 from 1 review

Sourdough Focaccia is basically a sourdough savory donut –and probably the easiest sourdough bread recipe ever… you mix, wait, pour, wait and bake.  Because it’s such high hydration, it’s difficult to fold, so I barely even try.  And guess, what?  It’s still perfect every time!  How easy is that?!

Ingredients

Scale

450g water

75g sourdough starter

500g bread flour

10g salt

Instructions

Step 1 – FEED STARTER:

  • Feed your sourdough starter and use when it’s at peak –basically when it can no longer rise and it starts to crater a little

Step 2 – MIXING:

  • In a bowl, mix ingredients together thoroughly until there are no dry clumps
  • Cover

Step 3 – BULK PROOF:

  • For this particular recipe, our bulk proof (73F) fermentation will be 10hrs long
  • during this time window, do at least 2 coil folding sessions
  • this dough is at 90% hydration, so
  • we are not expecting the dough to take any shape
  • we’re just giving it some dough strengthening

Step 4 – SHAPING:

  • After 10hrs, your sourdough dough should’ve risen 1.5-1.75x its size in your bowl
  • Grease your 9×9 pan (like a brownie pan) with olive oil, as much as your heart desires
  • Pour the dough into your pan
  • Drizzle more olive oil on top
  • Dimple the oil into the dough with the tips of your fingers
  • If you want to add toppings, now’s the time (just dimple them on top of the dough along with the olive oil)

Step 5 – FINAL PROOF

  • Cover your dough and final proof (73F) your dough for max 3hrs

Step 6 – BAKING:

  • Bake for 25-30 min at 450F;
  • enjoy!
