Focaccia Bread Video Tutorial:
There’s nothing like freshly baked Focaccia bread. This one was inspired by our favorite Chicken Bacon Avocado Sandwich on Focaccia. It bakes up thick and beautiful so it’s perfect as a side with dinner or sliced in half for sandwiches.

What is Focaccia?
Focaccia (pronounced fuh-kaa-chuh) is a classic Italian bread. The name focaccia is derived from the Roman “panis focacius,” which means “hearth bread” indicating that it was originally baked in coals back in Roman times.
It is considered a flatbread and the texture is similar to pizza dough. It’s baked with a generous amount of olive oil in the pan which creates a crisp edge. It can be made a hundred different ways by changing up the toppings that sit in the classic dimples on top.

Ingredients for Italian Focaccia
The key to making great focaccia is using a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil which creates a crispy and flavorful crust.
- Flour– use all-purpose flour or bread flour for focaccia.
- Yeast – get one packet (7grams) of instant yeast. The label should say “quick-rise” or “rapid rise.” The right yeast is key to making this bread in about 4 hours from start to finish.
- Honey – helps activate the yeast and balances flavor
- Salt – we use fine sea salt for the dough and sauce then sprinkle kosher salt over the top before baking.
- Water – use filtered warm water (105˚-115˚F).

The Best Topping for Focaccia
While the dough is proofing, I like to make the topping early so the oil gets infused with wonderful garlic and rosemary flavor which soaks into the dough dimples. Combine the oil, water, garlic, rosemary, and salt, and vigorously whisk to combine.

How to Make Focaccia
- Proof Yeast – Combine water, honey, and yeast and let sit 5-7 minutes until foamy.
- Make the Dough – Combine flour and salt then mix in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until a moist mass of dough forms without streaks of flour. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and mix it in with your hands. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- Develop Gluten – Perform 4 stretches and folds, allowing the dough to rest covered for 30 minutes between each set. Turn the bowl between each stretch and fold and pull the dough gently without tearing it. See the video tutorial for a demonstration.

Pro Tip: When handling moist dough, dip hands in water to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
To Form Italian Focaccia Bread
- Mold to the Pan – after the fourth stretch and fold, immediately transfer it to a 9×13 pan coated with 1/4 cup olive oil. Turn the dough and gently stretch to the edges. If it is difficult to stretch, rest 15 minutes and try again then cover and rest 45-60 minutes.
- Dimples – dip fingers in water and poke fingertips into dough going straight down in a quick motion like playing the piano. Go over the dough 2-3 times to create plenty of dimples.
- Add Toppings and Bake – Re-whisk topping then drizzle it evenly over the top of the dough. Bake at 450˚F for 22-25 minutes until golden brown. I aim for 25 minutes for a crisp crust. Immediately transfer bread to a wire rack and rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Common Questions
Focaccia is a flat bread with a texture that is similar to good pizza dough.
This recipe produces a crisp chewy crust with a soft and airy center. If your bread ends up dense or tough, be sure to measure flour correctly and check that your yeast is still active.
There could be a few reasons – use a thermometer to ensure your water temperature is 105-115˚F so you don’t kill your yeast. Check that your yeast isn’t expired – if it doesn’t form a foamy later in the first step, discard and start over with fresh yeast. Also, measure flour correctly.
You can use a jelly roll pan for flat bread, or cut the recipe in half and bake in a 9-10″ cast iron skillet or cake pan.
Yes. Bread flour and all-purpose flour can be substituted equally in this recipe.

How to Serve Focaccia
- Side Dish – serve focaccia like you would dinner rolls. We love to pair it with Zuppa Toscana or Italian Wedding Soup.
- Sandwich Bread – when baked in a 9×13 pan, the focaccia is easy to slice in half for sandwiches. It makes the best ever BLT Sandwich and of course our Chicken Club Sandwiches.
- With a Dipping Sauce – you’ll love this restaurant-style bread dip: In a small dish, combine equal parts extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a sprinkle of black pepper.

Make-Ahead
- Room Temperature – loosely cover focaccia in plastic wrap for 2 days at room temperature.
- Freezing: When the bread has cooled to room temperature, wrap in several layers of plastic wrap and freeze for 2 months. Freeze the bread the same day it’s made and it will taste fresh when thawed.
- Thawing: Thaw at room temperature or speed thaw in the microwave at 15-second intervals until no longer frozen.
- Reheating: Once thawed, place on a baking sheet and bake uncovered in oven at 350˚F for 8 minutes, or in an air fryer at 350˚F for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.

I hope you’re inspired to make homemade Focaccia bread. It will make you feel like a pro baker and it’s really simple with very little active time.

Focaccia Bread Recipe

Focaccia Bread with a crisp crust, airy soft center, and mouthwatering garlic rosemary topping. Learn how to make easy Focaccia (no need to wait overnight), and it freezes well.
Ingredients
Focaccia Dough Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water, 105-115 F
- 1 tsp honey
- 7 g instant yeast/ rapid rise yeast, 1 packet or 2 1/4 tsp
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, for the dough
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil , for the pan
For the Topping:
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped from 2 sprigs
- 1 tsp kosher salt or flaky salt, to sprinkle the top
Instructions
-
Proof the yeast: Pour warm water into a measuring cup and stir in 1 tsp honey. Stir in 1 packet of yeast and proof for 5-7 minutes or until surface is foamy.
-
Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 3/4 cups flour and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Pour in your yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until no dry flour remains and a sticky dough mass forms. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and use your hands to work the oil into the dough until fully absorbed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes until visibly puffed.
-
Make the Topping: In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp oil, 2 Tbsp water, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp finely chopped rosemary, and 1/2 tsp salt. Whisk vigorously until well combined and set aside
-
Develop Gluten: Once dough is rested, use the stretch and fold method to develop gluten strands (see video for a demonstration). Dip your hands in water to prevent sticking and do four stretches and folds: Pull up one corner of the dough gently without tearing the dough then fold it over onto itself. Rotate the bowl and continue this process 3 more items. Cover with plastic wrap and rest 30 minutes at room temp. Perform 3 more stretches and folds, letting it rest covered for 30 minutes each time. Right after the last stretch and fold, transfer to an oiled baking pan.
-
Mold to the Pan: Pour 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil into a NON-STICK 9×13 baking pan to coat the bottom. Transfer the dough to the oiled pan and turn to coat in oil. Gently stretch the dough to the edges. If it has difficulty stretching, cover and let it rest 15 minutes before working dough to the edges. Cover and proof 45-60 minutes until well risen and puffy.
-
Create Dimples: Dip hands into cold water and use your fingertips to poke into the focaccia, going almost through the dough. It should be a quick motion, like pushing keys on a piano. Go over the dough a couple of times to get a generous amount of dimples. Release any big air bubbles trapped under the dough by gently lifting the dough at the edge.
-
Add Toppings and Bake: Re-whisk the topping if it has separated then drizzle evenly over the top. Sprinkle kosher salt or flaky sea salt over the top of the bread and bake at 450˚F for 22-25 minutes until golden brown (we prefer 25 minutes for a crisp edge). Immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool so the base doesn’t steam soften and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into squares to serve or slice lengthwise for sandwiches.
This recipe is WONDERFUL!!! Crispy crust, fluffy interior and so tasty! My kids and I can’t get enough of it. Thank you so much for developing and sharing this recipe.
That’s wonderful to hear. Thank you, Erin.
Hello Natasha, just curious as to why you are activating the instant yeast. I thought you could just mix it with the dry ingredients and then add the water.
Thanks
Hi, I like to make sure it’s working and active before I spend all that time making the bread. I’ve had sad situations before where the yeast was expired.
What a great recipe ! I have made it twice letting it rise in the fridge overnight and it works beautifully. I also used bread flour and it gets a super crispy crust. Thanks for the microwave tip, that’s a keeper for proofing my sourdough!
Hello Julie, thanks for sharing that with us. Good to hear that it is always a success when you make this recipe!
Hi Natasha!
I love this recipe and was wondering if I can refrigerate the dough overnight? Should I just do the first 39 minute rise and then do the folding after the dough comes to room temperature tomorrow? Thank you !
Hi Giovanna, I would refrigerate and then bring it back to room temperature the next day before finishing it off.
Consistent, reliable, flexible, easy, delicious recipe! Love the personality in the video too!
Thank you for your good comments and feedback, Stef. We appreciate it!
Just made this today and it’s amazing! So worth the labour!
Once question, how do you store it if not freezing it right away?
Hi Sonia, it’s rewarding, isn’t it?! I have these instructions in my notes, loosely cover the bread in plastic wrap for 2 days at room temperature.
Hi Natasha! If we do the microwave trick how long do we let it rise for since it speeds up the process?
Hi Ashley, you can speed thaw in the microwave at 15-second intervals until no longer frozen.
Made it!
Started it yesterday, put in fridge overnight and finished this morning.
Topped with olive oil, garlic, rosemary and sun dried tomato.
Sounds great! I’m glad you like the recipe, Kathi.
I never have time to make bread that needs proving like this, bit being in covid iso we have heaps of time! This is an easy and delicious foccacia and will definitely be making it again!
I’m so glad you tried it and loved it, Kasee! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
Why are there no comments on this? Love this recipie, super simple. My family LOVES it for deep dish pizza too!
Hi Shelby, this recipe has 300+ comments, you can see them all in the comments section 🙂 Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m so glad you & your family loved it!
This focaccia recipe has good flavor. Thank you for posting the “nutrition information,” however your serving size is missing. I ran your recipe through the Myfitnesspal online recipe calculator and it came out as 225 calories for one serving if you cut the entire slab of focaccia into twelve pieces (which I did–I cut four rows of 3 pieces per row). Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome and thank you for sharing that with us.
I made your recipe. It was good and I will likely make it again. About your nutrition information, thankyou for supplying that, however, it does not state what the serving size is for that 217 calories per serving.
I am a great cook so I am told I tell them my food is great because I love cooking. I follow you and use many of your recipes, everyone has been great and my guests rave over them.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Connie!
I was looking for a focaccia recipe that didn’t require an overnight refrigeration. Even though I had to rush the last prove (about 35 min instead of 45-60) AND even though I had to use a Pyrex 9×13 dish, it came out great. Nicely browned on bottom and top, and a nice crunch along with great flavor. I’m very much a novice but even my wife was impressed! Thank you — blessings.
I used your damp towel in the microwave trick to help with shortening the last prove time. Great hint.
Nice, glad you tried that one!
You’re welcome! Good to know that it turned out great and your enjoyed it!
Can this be made in a stand mixer? And, if so, how would the instruction differ.
I love all of your recipes.
Hi Leslie, I haven’t tried that for this recipe, but this one is done pretty quickly, so it worked by hand really well.
Just baked this bread! I give it 10000 stars, thanks it’s now one of our families favorites. I have tried other bread recipes in the past, and they have never turned out well… but this recipe turned out excellent! I will bake this again.
Hi Mary, thank you so much for the amazing review. I’m so happy you loved the recipe! I saw your second message and migrated your stars to this comment. Thank you again!
I was a little worried at first because my dough seemed to be a lot wetter/stickier than the video, but it baked up perfectly. Will definitely add this recipe to our regular rotation!
I’m so happy to hear it turned out perfect! That’s so great, Norman!
Hi Natasha! I made this focaccia a few times and it always came out perfect! Love your recipes
Giovanna
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Giovanna!
I tried this bread and it didn’t turnout well. It didn’t raise very much and the olive oil on top made it seem greasy. My yeast was fine and I’ve made other breads with success.
Hi Kathi, there could be a few reasons – I recommend using a thermometer to ensure your water temperature is 105-115˚F so you don’t kill your yeast. Check that your yeast isn’t expired – if it doesn’t form a foamy later in the first step, discard and start over with fresh yeast. Also, measure flour correctly.
I am excited to try this recipe but I’d like to know if I can make the dough in my bread machine and expect the same results.
Hi! I haven’t tried it in a bread machine, but that may work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Made the focaccia and the first batch was so dry I started over because I thought I may have miss measured. Second batch the dough was again very dry and not at all sticky. I added more warm water and was able to get the needed results. What could I have done wrong to have such a dry mix?
Bread turned out great with the minor adjustments.
Hi Rhonda, Be sure to measure by fluffing the flour first with a spoon then spoon it into a dry ingredient measuring cup and scrape off the top. If you push your measuring cup into a flour bin, you will get up to 25% too much flour. Also, do not tap the flour down in the measuring cup.
That explains it. I’ve tried making 3 batches now, first one I threw out. Second one I added more water and it turned out good. Today I’m making and I dug into the bag, scrapped off a firmly packed 3 3/4 cups. Thus I have another dry batch. I just tried pulling and laying over and it’s way to stiff. I guess I need to throw this one out too.
Natashas Kitchen: I just made another batch and made sure the flour was fluffy and the dough is exactly the way it’s supposed to be. THANK YOU!
That is awesome, I’m glad it turned out to be awesome!
Hi! My oven has a proof setting. Should I out the dough in there throughout the develop gluten process or only for the final proofing?
Hi Katy, that may work, be mindful if it goes above 110°F then you can deactivate the yeast and it won’t rise properly.
This recipe and technique worked perfect. We had it with beef stew tonight. Great compliment to our meal.
Hi Natasha,
I tried your focaccia recipe today and it was delicious!!!! My family enjoyed it and it disappeared from the table in 5 min. Thank you for making cooking look fun and easy. I enjoy watching your videos and have been trying a few of your recipes from time to time.
You’re very welome. Thank you for trying my recipe and thank you for the review. I am happy to hear it was enjoyed!
Natasha – this is absolutely DELICIOUS, minimal effort except for your time, but the payoff is so worth every minute. I added black olives and some crispy onion bits on top along with EVOO with rosemary/garlic!! Will be making for family and friends. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Hi Robin, that’s great! Thanks a lot for your good comments and feedback, I hope your family will love it too!
This is an AMAZING Focaccia Bread recipe! I have saved your this recipe for sometime now in my bookmarks! I am so glad I did because it was absolutely delicious. I should have started earlier instead of 2:30pm..but it was a good after dinner snack.LOL.
I changed Rosemary to fresh Thyme since my husband doesn’t care for Rosemary.
I also sautéed 1 minced garlic clove, some chopped fresh thyme & dash of kosher salt, put it aside too cool and used it for the oil to add into dough recipe instead of plain oil because I love garlic so much!
I followed all your steps and it came out perfect. Golden and fluffy with crunchy crust. Natasha you are my go to gal and I always know I will be making something delicious. You are my favorite!
Is there any way you can post a chicken paprikash with nokedli recipe? I know its not a Ukrainian dish, but I am sure you have done it! I love it.
Thanks so much for sharing so many recipes.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Joanne! I appreciate those recipe suggestions! On my way to look them up!
Big hit with the family, especially my grandson! I was surprised how easy it was to make. Thanks Natasha! Love your recipes and videos! Keep ‘em coming!
That is the best when kids & the family loves what we moms make. That’s so great!
I’ve tried focaccia in the past and it was an epic fail. But not with this recipe! It was so delicious. Thank you for the great instructions. This recipe is a keeper!
Love it! Thanks for the great review, Annette.
Natasha,loved this easy recipe.My bread came out perfect and delicious.Thank you for all the great recipes you post.It’s a big 5star from me.
You’re welcome, Divina. Thank you for your fantastic feedback!
I have made this recipe several times and have had requests to make it for other people as well. I love doing the stretch and fold. For the first one, I leave the dough in the bowl like you do bot for the next three, I lift the dough from the bowl (with fingers moistened) and do the stretching in mid-air. I can get the dough looking like a pork loin! So much fun but my wife just smile at me when I do this. Also, after the last stretch, I add the olive oil to the mixing bowl and do the turning in there. I put a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of my baking pan and spray the sides with cooking oil. Then I dump my dough into the pan and stretch it to the corners before the final proofing. The paper under the dough makes getting the baked bread out of the pan a simple process.
Thanks for your detailed review and for sharing your experience with us! I’m glad you liked the end result of the recipe.
Excellent recipe. My question, where did you get your flour canister? Thanks
Hi Michelle, you can find our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE.
OMG! It’s only been three days since I made this & ate the entire thing! I can’t stop thinking about how good it was & am trying to resist making it again!! The recipe is super easy to make & absolutely delicious!!
Hello Lori, that’s great feedback! Nice to know that you loved this recipe and you found a new favorite. Thank you for the excellent review!
Everything was going well until the stretch and fold process. It doesn’t look moist and doesn’t look more puffed between each fold. I used the microwave tip between each stretch and fold without realizing that maybe it’s deactivating the yeast based on what I read in your comment section…. :/ I’m so sad I’ve spent a few hours making this 🙁 Will have to see how it turns out. Also is it bake at 450F or 400F? Your video said both and I’m confused.
Hi Ashley, we bake it at 450˚F for 22-25 minutes until golden brown.
I was wondering the same regarding the microwave trick in between each fold. Did you receive an answer to this question?
I made the focaccia and refrigerated it overnight. Took it out in the morning and baked it. It was fantastic! I decorated it with rosemary shaped like a Christmas tree and added grape tomatoes.
It sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing that with us, Ami.
Hi Natasha. It is an amazing recipe. For the focaccia, Can I use fresh yeast?
Hi Maria, that should work fine. If you try this recipe, please share with us how it goes.
I only gave it 4 stars because I want to see how mine turns out. I have a party tomorrow mid-morning and I didn’t want to be rushed so I prepared my dough and put it in the fridge. I’ll take it out in the morning with plenty of time to bake it. Will let you know how it comes out. My kitchen smells incredible prepping the dough!!
I hope you love this recipe, Ami!
This is Easily the best bread I have ever made and will be my go to bread recipe. I also added olives and sun dried tomatoes. I have made it three times already. It is the bread I had as a child and never knew what it was. I also eat it for breakfast with some strawberry jam. Fantastic!
Aae, I’m glad you found your new go-to recipe. That is a delicious combo and always an all-time favorite!
Hi, I have done a few of your recipes successfully. Your best pizza is a regular on our table every other week. I am thinking of using this focaccia recipe for a cold tomato pizza.
Can I use a Corningware dish to bake
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes, Claudine!
Amazing as always while following your recipe!
Dear Natasha, is there a way of making this gluten free? Would it be just as easy as changing to rice flower? Would you make any changes in the process/ other ingredients then?
Kind regards
Hi Kristina, I haven’t tried this as a gluten-free version so I can’t speak to that. I wish I could be more helpful with that question.
I love everything you make!!!!!!
What are the steps if using a stand up mixer?
Hi Laura, I haven’t tried that for this recipe, but this one is done pretty quickly, so it worked by hand really well.
Good Morning,
I am suffering from what you said was “over proofing” my dough
How do I fix this 😩
Hi Kenya, if it’s over-proofed it’s hard to say if it will recover, but you can try rescuing the over-proofed dough, by pressing down on the dough to remove the gas, then reshape and reproof.
I have been looking for the perfect bread recipe for years and hands down, after I made this I flared my hands in success exclaiming, “I did it! I did it!” This bread is delicious!!!! Thank you!!!
Yay, thanks for the wonderful review. I’m happy that you finally found your new favorite bread recipe!
Love all your videos, huge fan! I made this yesterday and my bread got stuck in the pan.. any ideas why?? The only thing I did different is use bread flour instead of all purpose. Could it be the pan? What kind of pan do you use? Thanks 🙂
Hi Abby, it is critical to use a non-stick pan and make sure to use the correct amount of oil which definitely helps to prevent sticking. Lastly, make sure the oven is fully preheated before putting the bread into the oven.
Just made this ooooh….😄
soo delicciouus thank youu!!
but mine was a bit more stodgy and not as bubbly or airy as yours….. i think thats because i didnt wait long enough for the yeast, am i right?
Hi Jena, that is probably the case if the rising times were cut short. I’m so glad you enjoyed it anyways.
I’m wondering which digital thermometer you are using. I have an instant read analog thermometer for meat but would like one like yours. Thanks and love all your recipes.
Hi Peg, we love our Thermapen! You can find it HERE. It’s on sale right now 😉
I. LOVE. IT! I’ve tried already many of your recipes, but never made bread. I tried this one, and put black olives in the finger holes, before baking it. I didn’t have a fitting baking pan, so I just rolled it out with a rolling pin on an oven tray with some baking paper underneath. Worked out perfectly well. Next time I’m going to try your French wreath bread.
I’m so glad it worked out perfectly, Jan! That’s so great!
Ok this is my second review, but I had to add how addictive this bread is AND how forgiving it’s been with a toddler helping turn the spread out the dough. We make this at least weekly. We even made 2 today, one exactly as written and the other with a sweet topping (half tablespoon cinnamon and 3 tablespoons sugar with the same 2:2 oil and water mix): both amazing and didn’t taint each other cooking at same time in my oven. Thx so much again for sharing this recipe!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you and your family love this recipe, thanks for sharing that with us!
I made this recipe just last night and this was first attempt at ever trying to make focaccia or bread in general! The recipe and the video tutorial was everything and just really helped to bring it al together! I was beyond proud and excited when I took the focaccia out of the oven! Thank you Natasha for making me a bread baker!!
You are so welcome, Lovely! I’m so happy to have read your feedback, thank you for sharing that with us.
Can you use bread flour and get the same results?
Hi Judy, Yes. Bread flour and all-purpose flour can be substituted equally in this recipe.
I made this recipe for a family dinner. I must admit that I did not do the stretch and fold as described. I was in a hurry and did stretch and pull my way two times. This recipe is amazing! My entire family loved it and it looked beautiful. This recipe is easy and delicious. We will make again and again. Well done Natasha!
Thanks for that awesome review, Sue! We appreciate your feedback.
AMAZING! Amazingly tasty and easy. I was making this to copy a local restaurants pesto bread recipe, and we ended up eating the entire thing before I ever got the pesto made. So easy too; my 3.5 year old helped me stretch the dough, so huge bonus that it was fun and kid-friendly! Thanks for sharing!
You’re most welcome, Kelly. Glad you enjoyed making this recipe with your kid, thanks for sharing that with us!
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
When I woke up this morning, my very first thought was not coffee as usual but “leftover focaccia”. I ate a piece while making my coffee.
I test baked it yesterday because a neighbor, has been brining fresh garden veggies to me & mentioned buying some focaccia bread. I had never eaten or baked focaccia before yesterday.
Today, I will make again to take to my neighbor and may bake another “test” for myself!
Soooooooo easy!!!
Soooooooo yummy!!!
Thank you!!!!!
You’re welcome, Lori! Thank you for your good review and feedback.
Oh my!!!! I made this bread and all I have to say is it’s dangerous. I ate half of it myself. Can’t be making it too often 🤪. When you talked about the smell when it bakes you weren’t kidding, my husband got early out of the shower when it was baking and all my kids followed their noses downstairs to the kitchen. Thank you so much for such easy delicious 🤤 and easy recipe.
Haha totally understand what you mean. Thanks for your great review, I’m happy to know that you all loved it!
Excellent recipe! I added caramelized onions. Reheated the leftover foccacia the next day for unexpected company. It was perfect with a glass of wine.
I can eat this all day long! I’m so happy you enjoyed that, Linda!
Thanks so much for the fantastic recipe! I made it for friends, and they raved it as the best focaccia they ever tasted! Will definitely make this one again. So simple and delicious.
Hello Amanda, thank you for your good comments and feedback. Glad to know that you and your friends enjoyed this recipe!
I made this today and it turned out delicious. Easy to follow recipe, almost fool proof. I used fresh rosemary from my garden. The focaccia has a nice fluffy texture, great chew, and deep flavor. Definitely a keeper.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Doug!
Love love this recipe! My family demands it fresh 2-3 times a week and it being so easy, I don’t mind doing it! Thanks for this awesome recipe Natasha!
You are so welcome, Holly. That makes me happy, thank you for your review!
Truly the best video ever for a beginner! I failed twice before I finally found the instructions of your tutorials.
I’m so glad the video was helpful!!
What are some other toppings that could be used? I was thinking of sundried tomatoes and olives.
Hi Shirley! I bet those would work great here!
Sounds amazing, will try those for my next batch!
Hey
If I wanted to add cherry tomatoes and onions as a topping, would the cook time remain the same or would I have to add foil so it doesn’t burn?
Hi Ari, I haven’t tried this with tomato to advise on the outcome. If you experiment, I’d love to know how it works out!
I do love your channel and your recipes . Dont know where I am going wrong. The first time it worked. Now I cant get it to rise the last time, once it is in the 9×13 inch pan. HELP
Hi Kenya, could you be over-proofing your dough or using too hot of an oven?
Not sure…. LOL Now that I know what over-proofing is I will try again. I didnt know this was possible
THANK YOU!!!
This bread is amazing! I will definitely make this again.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Beth!
I’m making this for the first time right now. So excited for the finished product. One thing that is not clear: do I do 4 stretch and folds with a 30 minute rest in between before putting in the 9 X 13 pan? Or, 3 stretch and folds with a 30 minute rest and after the 4th stretch and fold the dough goes into the pan without the 30 minute rest? I watched the video twice and read the instructions and I can interpret it both ways. Can you clarify? Thank you!
Hi Joan, after the 4th stretch and fold, the dough goes into the pan to rest for 30 minutes. In step 4, I wrote: “Right after the last stretch and fold, transfer to an oiled baking pan.” I hope that helps.
OMG! So easy, so much fun to make, and absolutely delicious!!! I am making this 3x/week and giving it to all my neighbors. They love it too!!! Crunchy sides and tender inside. The topping is perfect! Thank you for an absolute keeper of a recipe!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Roberta!
Wow! I had no idea focaccia was so easy to make – I did not need to know this ;). My family says it’s the best bread I have ever made. Thank you for another great recipe and video!
So easy! I’m glad you gave this a try, Nancy! Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful review with me.
Hi! Natasha Can I use vegetable oil instead of olive oil ?
Hi xtina, the oil is one of the star ingredients and really matters here since it imparts. flavor, so a nice olive oil is the way to go. Vegetable oil may still work.
Wow! Great recipe! Since I saw this a few weeks ago, I have probably made 2-3 loaves a week! I give it to neighbors, and they love it too! It is easy and fun to make, and absolutely delicious. It also freezes well. Great for mealtime or for sandwiches.
Wow, that’s so nice of you to share it! I’m glad you love this recipe, thanks for your great review and feedback.
I just this recipe as we were having some friends over and Oh My God it is amazing!!! Everyone loved it not a single piece left!
I just have one question, when it baked and I went to take it out of the pan it got stuck, and when I tried to take it out the button was crumbled a bit. (Mind you we still ate it no worries). I followed your instructions and poured oil in the pan before baking. Any reason why it got stuck and what can I do for next time? Thankyou
HI Analise, a non-stick pan helps a ton and also to use the generous amount of oil that is called for (it seems like a lot but it is important). I have a much easier time in my nonstick 9×13 metal pan than my ceramic 9×13 casserole dish where it has gotten stuck. I’m so glad you loved it!
Thankyou for answering. I was wondering if placing a baking paper at the bottom would ruin the baking process. So ill know for next time. Thankyou
Hi Analise, are you referring to parchment paper? This recipe doesn’t really need it, but I also can’t advise how it will turn out without trying that. If you experiment, I would love to know how it goes.
Tried it again today with baking paper. It worked just fine 😊 So happy with the result
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Analise!
This is the best bread. I’ve made it 4 times already. I added tomatoes to the top of mine also.
I’m so happy you found a favorite on my blog, Debbie!
Hi, Natasha! I just wanted to jump on here and let you know I made this focaccia recipe yesterday and oh, my, word! It was so incredibly delicious!
My whole family was raving about how good it was. We all loved the chewy and crunchy texture and it wasn’t difficult at all! Also, the flavor was amazing!
I will be using nothing but this recipe going forward. Thank you!!!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Meenaxi!
Hi Natasha, love your work, I’ll attempt this recipe for a dinner party but I’m very nervous when it comes to making any bread, so I wanted to make this in advance. Would you recommend making the entire bread 1x day in advance and just leaving it chilled to be reheated the day after, or leaving the dough chilling overnight to bake on the day of the party so it’s more fresh?
Hi Juliana, both ways work great! We’ve made it ahead, and the same day, it depends on your comfort level/ which is more convenient.
Natasha,
I made this recipe last month and it is absolutely amazing!
I want to try making 1/2 the recipe in a 9 inch cake pan this time around. Any idea on the approximate bake time for that?
Thanks!!!
Hi AG, I haven’t tried it in a 9-inch pan to advise on bake time. It will likely need to be adjusted. If you happen to try it out, I’d love to know how it went!
Thank you dear Natasha! This bread was easy to make and tasted great!
If I knew how to add pictures I would 😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Mariam! Add your photo to social media (Fb/ IG) and hashtag #natashaskitchen so I can see your image.
hi! i love your channel! i was wondering how i could substitute whole wheat flour in this recipe. please let me know 🙂
Glad to hear that, Ayah. I honestly haven’t tried that to advise, but I think it’s worth experimenting with. If you try that, please share with us how it goes!
This recipe was the first time I ever baked bread in the oven. The only problem I had was it stuck to the pyrex 9X12 even with the 1/4 cup of olive oil coating. The dough may have been wetter than it should have been because I kept wetting my hand to work the dough. Can you think of why it stuck?
Hi Lynn, the extra moisture could be the issue but it’s hard to say without being there.
This recipe is incredible!!! It is restaurant quality- even better! My new favorite recipe! So so easy and yields fantastic results!
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Hello! I’m currently making this and I’m on the step where I let the dough rise in the pan with oil. It puffed up so much that it was as big as the pan it was amazing. But then I went it to add the dimples with my fingers and it just completely deflated. I’m letting it sit again and hope it rises again. What went wrong? Or was this normal? Didn’t see yours really deflate in the video so figured I did something wrong
Hi Jennifer, it’s normal when you are putting in the dimples and it’s nothing to worry about. Watch the video and you will see that the same happens with mine and it will rise up again. Also, make sure when you are proofing the dough that you aren’t keeping it in an environment that is too hot which can overwork and exhaust your yeast, or worse yet, deactivate it. It sounds like what is happening for you is normal though.
Hi Natasha,
Thanks for the excellent recipe!
I was a bit apprehensive to make bread (after one failed experience), but your cheery voice and enthusiasm gave me the confidence to make this one. I made a cheesy dip to go with it, and also used fresh yeast since that was the one I had, and it tasted and smelled great.
My only concern was that it did not brown on the top like yours did, so I grilled it for a couple of minutes, but I think that made it too crispy lol.
Will definitely make again (minus the grilling)!
Keep up the great work 🙂
I’m so glad you gave this a try, Gauri! Thank you for sharing that with me!
Hi, Natasha! I’ve made this a couple of times already and it’s amazing! Just wanted to check if I can sub dried rosemary for fresh ones since, unfortunately, I only have those on ahnd at the moment.
Hi AJ, we prefer the fresh rosemary but here is what one of our readers wrote “I didn’t have fresh Rosemary so used dried in the topping, worked a treat” I hope that helps!
Hello, I cant seem to find the serving SIZE for the nutritional information.
So, I’m not sure what happened but I followed this recipe, all the turns it puffed beautifully I baked it, my house smelled amazing but it didn’t rise in the oven nor turn golden brown,( my oven was set to 450) instead it looks like a flat 9×13 weapon. Please HELP.
I’ve never had that happen before. Are you certain your oven is heating properly? Also, could you have heated the dough at two high of a temperature in the last proofing? If it goes above 110°F then you can deactivate the yeast and it won’t rise properly.
Amazing!! We were limited on time, so we only repeated step 4 a couple of times and had to reduce the rise time before baking and it still turned out amazing! We will most certainly be making this again!
I’m glad to hear that it was a success! Thanks for sharing that with us.
This recipe is amazing! Easy to make too. My kids absolutely devoured it. Delicious! I’m making it again for a second time in three days. This recipe is a keeper for sure! Would I be able to knead shredded cheese into the dough? I’m thinking of trying that next time. And the dipping sauce is amazing too!
Hi April! I’m so happy to hear that. I bet that could work. If you try it out, please let me know how you like that.
This was absolutely the most DELISHIOUS Focaccia Bread we have ever tasted! Your recipe was beyond simple and it’ll be made many times throughout the summer months and beyond.
Thankyou for this and all your recipes.
Take care and stay safe🌸
Wow, that is so awesome! I’m really happy with your comments and feedback, thank you so much!
Forgot to rate this. It is incredibly delicious.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
Made it twice in two days. So good. Crispy outside and soft inside. It was gone before I could even blink.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Delicious and perfect
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I have made this twice. The flavour was great but both times the bread didn’t cook through even though the top was browned. I simply tuned it over and cooked the bottom for a few minutes. This did work. Is there a reason this happened.
Hi Lucy, I haven’t had that experience. Did you possibly have the bread too high up in your oven or is your heat from the top only?
This was an amazing recipe. My family loved it so much! I’ve actually made it twice and both times it came out great. I did bake them in a glass dish so it got stuck a bit and was hard to get out. Is there something I can do to make it easier to take out?
Hi Susana, make sure you use the correct amount of olive oil which will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
I was wondering if this could go into a 13×17 pan and still be thick enough to make sandwiches. If not, what could I do to make it work?
Btw My daughter makes your chocolate chip cookies with walnuts in them and her friends ask her to make them constantly. They are a big hit!!!
Hi Maria, I haven’t tested that in a 13×17 to advise. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Made this focaccia today and it was delicious! Very crusty and crunchy, loved it! Best I’ve had.
Perfect! Thanks for your wonderful comments and feedback!
Made this today. So easy and delicious. I had always been buying my foccacia and now I can make it myself. Also, great microwave tip for getting the dough to rise quickly.
Homemade is always best! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Dawn!
I made this today and its the best focaccia bread I’ve made, if I do say so myself! I like black olives and I always put them on the top of my focaccia. They really enhanced the flavour. This recipe is a definite keeper. Thanks for sharing it.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
This looks sooo good!
My only query is would it be possible to speed up the resting time by popping it in the microwave with a hot towel after each folding /stretching manoeuvre?
Hi Sue, I haven’t tried speeding the rising process but I have found that when I do that with certain breads it does negatively affect the texture at the end so I’m not sure about this one.
I’ve been getting rave reviews for this, Natasha. Thank you sooo much!
Mine is too oily at the bottom after baking though so I need to let it stand on a rack. Yours doesn’t. I’ve been following measurements to a T. Could it be my oven? I only have a convection oven, not a real one…
Could be the oven but I cannot really tell but letting it stand on the rack is a good idea! I’m glad you liked the recipe.
This recipe looks so simple! I’m making it right now but so sad that the dough doesn’t look as moist as yours for the pull and fold part! 🙁
Hi Annie, I hope it turns out for you. I’m curious if there’s too much flour? Be sure to measure by fluffing the flour first with a spoon, then spoon it into a dry ingredient measuring cup and scrape off the top. If you push your measuring cup into a flour bin, you will get up to 25% too much flour. Also, do not tap the flour down in the measuring cup.
Hi Natasha
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have just made and it’s scrumptious 😋.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Can I use sour dough for this recipe?
Hi Elsie, I haven’t tried making sourdough focaccia bread but I think it would be a tasty experiment. Let me know if you test that out.
Наташа Привет. You videos are as entertaining as they are informative. I watch each one, even if I don’ plan on making the
subject of the video.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying our video recipes! Thank you for sharing that with me.
Hi Natasha. I made the focaccia. It was delicious. I just changed the topping for cooked onions, oregano and olives. 😁
Sounds great! I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe, Silvana. Thank you for your good review and for sharing that with us.
Hi Natasha
Bravo I love your cooking , I did your focaccia And it’s so so delicious, but it’s getting stuck to my dish , I did in a iron dish and even glass dish , can I know why it got stuck pls
Thanks Charles
Hi Charles, I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe! I haven’t tried this in a glass dish but I think that should work, but I would line so it doesn’t stick to the dish.
Hello Natasha,
I just have a question. If after 25 mns the surface is not golden brown does it mean it needs broiling? I’m not sure my oven works from both sides at the same time :s
Hi Saly, it sounds like it may need more time in the oven; I’m curious if your oven is running lower on heat, I would recommend making sure it’s calibrated.
I made this tonight and it turned out just like you said. I loved it. It had a nice crunch and full of favor. I enjoy your videos and enthusiasm for sharing recipes.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
OMG!!! The best focaccia I’ve ever had! Thank you sharing this very thorough video and recipe. I used a high gluten bread flour and it came out perfectly! So long sourdough…this is my new fav!
Ha ha! That is quite a compliment. I’m so happy you loved it. Keep in mind if you don’t finish it all in one day, you can freeze it. It freezes and thaws so well – we re-crisp it in the air fryer after thawing. So good!
Hi Natasha, if I want to make ahead, do I do everything up to step 4, then I can cover and let it sit at room temperature for a day moving moving to step 5?
Hi Genya, it will be over-proofed if you leave it at room temperature for a day. I would refrigerate and then bring it back to room temperature the next day before finishing it off.
I’ve seen two different temps for this delicious bread which is the best sandwich bread ever!!!
One temp is 450° and the other is 400°.
I went with 425° and it turned out fantastic!!!
I’m so glad you loved the focaccia bread.
Made this today. Absolutely awesome. Looking through your suggestions, I see that this can be halved. If I do so and cook in an iron skillet should the skillet be preheated??
Hi Teresa, you can cut this in half and put it into a cast iron skillet. I would rub the inside of the skillet with oil and brush some of the oil up the sides of the pan as well. No need to preheat the skillet, just bake as usual.
Can I use sugar in your bread recipes instead of honey? I’m not fond of honey and never have it in the house. Love your recipes!!!
Hi Duane, the honey activates the yeast and balances the flavor. I haven’t tried using sugar but I think that might also work but I can’t say for sure unless I try. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes!
This is a very good and easy recipe… Keep them coming.. I also enjoy seeing new kitchen gadgets that are available by clicking on the “Shop” tab… Do you have a link to the red folding thermometer ? Thanks
Hi Letigre, we sure do. You can find the thermometer HERE. You can also find more of our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE.
This is Aaaahhhh-mazing!!! This absolutely tasted delicious! Baking is a new thing for me. I’ve never been confident in anything to do with a dough, but, Natasha, you made it so easy and so simple for a non-baker to follow and replicate. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us. I love this focaccia recipe so much that I am thinking of making a pesto tomato one as a topping this weekend. Fingers crossed! Again, thank you!
That sounds like a great plan. I hope you love every recipe that you will try, Anne. Thank you for sharing your good feedback with us!
Hi Natasha
can I skip the rosemary for the topping?
I would recommend not skipping it if you can as it’s really good with it.
I am not a baker but the first attempt at this was sooooooo good.
I didn’t have fresh Rosemary so used dried in the topping, worked a treat
Hi Chris, good to know that you liked it! Thanks for sharing that with us.
wowwwww it looks yummy
So good, I hope you can try this soon!
Hi Natasha,
Will this work with a glass baking dish?
Btw, I love making your recipes and they are always a hit. My sons favorite is the chicken piccata, and both my husband and my son, love the dinner rolls. Thank you for sharing your talent with us 🙂
Hi, I haven’t tried this in a glass dish but I think that should work, but I would line so it doesn’t stick to the dish.
I made this today in a glass dish and it only stuck in one small area and it wasn’t bad enough to ruin the bottom of the bread (which turned out excellent BTW)I followed the recipe and put 1/4 c of olive oil in the bottom of the dish.
I’m glad you liked the result, Dorothy!
The ads on these recipes are getting ridiculous. Can hardly scroll down, always and ad in the way.
Hi Irina, thank you for sharing your concerns and feedback. The only way we can continue providing free recipes is by having ads on our site so we are not able to remove those at this time. We find that most people would rather see the ads than pay to see the recipes.
I appreciate your feedback and I hope you love every recipe you try.
While aggravating it is the price we pay for “free” blogs. It is just like watching “free” tv or “free” radio. These services are not free to produce.
Hi Natasha,
I tried making the bread and my dough is runny I cannoy make dimples as it is so runny, what am I doing wrong? I followed the recipe as I printed it out and watched the video but something is still wrong.
Hi Engela, make sure you are using the same type of flour and also be sure to measure ingredients correctly. It sounds like proportions might be off.
i loved the itroduction it made me laugh lol
I’m so glad you enjoyed that. It was a blunder that we decided to keep in. 🙂 Thank you for the thoughtful feedback.
waiting for your orange bundt cake and also i tried your cranberry one and it was delicious but i want the the orange version
Hi Jana, I haven’t done an orange version of it yet but I think it’s worth experimenting with. If you give that a try, please share with us how it goes!
I just made it and it disappeared in minutes thank you for the great recipe
You’re welcome! Isn’t it so good?! I’m happy you enjoyed it!
This was the best bread I have ever had! I added fresh basil to our olive oil, balsamic vinegar, pepper mixture. We can’t wait to make it again!
I’m glad you loved it! Thank you for giving the recipe a great feedback
tried it and it is so crispy and soft and it tasted like a pizza
Hi Malak, thanks for sharing! I hope you loved it.
I made this focaccia yesterday and was absolutely delicious! Big hit!
Next time I will kick it up a notch by adding sliced cherry tomatoes with the garlic and rosemary topping – yum!
Thanks Natasha – great recipes as always!!
Awesome and sounds like a great plan, Anna. Thanks for your wonderful review, I hope you’ll love every recipe that you will try!
Natatasha darling I’m a hard core fan of yours. All your recipes are fool proof. I tried this bread and it came out great. It’s going to be an all time favourite. Our doctor has told us not to have all purpose flour and have whole wheat flour due to some medical issues. So can it be made with whole wheat flour? ❤️
Hi Jas, thanks for your support and for your great comments and feedback. I honestly haven’t tried that to advise, but I think it’s worth experimenting with. If you try that, please share with us how it goes!
hi natahsa i want to try your recipe but i want to make for 6 oesple and when i saw how to make for 6 pieces but i didn;t understand it so can you say it for me
Hi Hana, if you click on the serving size in the recipe card, you can slide it up or down to scale the recipe ingredient lists. I hope that helps!
hi natahsa i didn’t undersatnd 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour like 3 cupsplus 1/4 cup
Hi Jane, my article on How to Measure Ingredients could be useful.
The gluten stretch did not work for me … dough did not stretch for the folds at all like in your video . The bread itself was crunchy and tasty but didn’t rise a whole bunch nor with the big puffy holes. I’ll try a again, but wonder what went wrong with that 3 x 4 fold step process. In the meantime I have cut the leftover bread into 1” cubes and will freeze to make croutons .
Hi Val, it sounds like maybe you need to check if your yeast is active. Did it foam in the initial step? Also, be sure not to have the liquids too hot or proof in an environment that is too hot which can deactivate your yeast.
Thanks for your note. Yes yeast was active and foamed beautifully. I did your wet cloth in microwave tip for the first rise … maybe that was too hot! I’m definitely trying this recipe again! On another note your pierogie recipe turned out perfectly!
I started following you with your incredible Borstch and Minnestrone. The focaccia looks incredible. Usually I follow Ina Garten, Food Network, Ree, Bobbi, Food and Wine, Alton Brown and now YOU!
Thank you for following my recipes! I hope you’ll love every recipe that you will try, Maureen.
I’m very anxious to try this today. Can I use bread flour or 00 flour instead of all purpose?
Hi Diane, I haven’t tested that but here is what one of our readers wrote: “!!! The best focaccia I’ve ever had! Thank you sharing this very thorough video and recipe. I used a high gluten bread flour and it came out perfectly! So long sourdough…this is my new fav!” I hope that helps.
Thank you for all your videos and recipes. I have tried so many of your recipes. My favourite part of videos is your excitement when it comes to the taste test. Great personality.
You’re welcome! Thank you too for your great comments and feedback, Mavis.
I have enjoyed all the recipes I have tried from your website, but this bread is amazing! The recipe is definitely a ‘keeper’! We enjoyed it tonight with a hearty soup.
I’m happy to hear that, Lucinda. I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try!
I made this bread today and it is absolutely fabulous. This will be my go-to for focaccia bread!! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Marilyn! Thank you for the wonderful review!
I’m definitely making this for my family tomorrow. Can’t wait to try this out!! Thanks for this great recipe.
I hope you love this recipe, Adam!
Can I use my stand mixer for the kneading?
Hi Debbie, I haven’t tried that for this recipe, but this one is done pretty quickly, so it worked by hand really well.
I want to know how focaccia bread taste like
Hi Sara, I recommend reading through the recipe post we describe it in for you 🙂 This bread has a crisp, chewy crust, airy, soft center, and amazing garlic rosemary topping.
This is an amazing recipe! It’s rare I find a recipe that turns out exactly like shown, or that I don’t make adjustments to. My family gobbled it up!! This will be a go-to recipe for sure! Thank you!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Hi, I want to make ahead the focaccia to bake tomorrow. At what point do I put into the fridge? Thanks, I can’t wait to eat this bread and thanks for the recipe.
Hi Sandy, please see our “Make-Ahead” section in the recipe post. I hope that helps.
can you make more yeast recipes because i am still small to do desserts and cooking things so i want more yeast recipe
Thank you for that suggestion, Jana! You can find most of our yeast recipes HERE.
This was absolutely fantastic! My 3 kids devoured it!
That is the best when kids love what we parents make. That’s so great!
This is the BEST Focaccia I ever had! Was my first time making it, was super easy and sooooo delicious!! Will be a regular recipe in my house! Love it!!
Thank you Natasha!!! ❤️
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
I have enjoyed so many of your recipes. Thank you for all the family friendly and husband friendly ones. My husband isn’t a fan of trying something new but if I tell him it’s one of yours he feels like maybe it will be good. Thank you .
Thanks to you both for trusting my recipes. I hope that you’ll love all the recipes that you wil try!
YUM! I know I will be making this! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome, I hope you love it!
Can I use gluten free flour for this?
Hi Patti, I haven’t tried that yet to advise. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes as I’m sure others would love to try that too!
What can I substitute for rosemary since I don’t have any on hand?
Hi Zoya, we love it with rosemary for the herbs, but you could use whatever herbs you love.
Can u use this same recipe for pizza?
Hi Nancy! I haven’t tested that to advise.
In the video you weigh your flour but don’t give the weight needed in the printed version.
Hi Rose, If you scroll down to our printable recipe card, most of our recipes have a metric conversion option on the printable recipe card, allowing you can see the grams. Check out our post on measuring which should help with measurements.
This type of bread is the BEST! I love dipping it in seasoned olive oil! Seriously perfect!
Thanks for your great feedback!
I have always loved ordering this when i go out to eat. When I saw your recipe I knew I had to try making it! It was so delicious, making it again soon! Thank you
Awesome! I’m glad you loved this recipe, Melissa. Thank you for leaving a great review here.
Hi natasha can you do orange bundt cake and I want a garlic bread which we can make it with yeast
Hi Noor, the only bundt cake we have is our Cranberry Orange bundt cake and I have a garlic bread recipe here.
Great recipe, but it would be nice if you also included the weight in grams with it for those with scales. Keep up the great work and videos.
Thank you, Ed. There is a way to convert the ingredients to grams. If you are at the recipe https://natashaskitchen.com/ you may click on “Jump to recipe” and click “Metric” to see the ingredients converted to grams.
Oh my god!! I am so excited to make this, You always have great recipes Natasha…Thank you for sharing them. I make them often
I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you! I hope this focaccia bread recipe becomes a favorite for you.
I am sure i will..your recipes are so easy to make and you are awesome!!
Absolutely delightful! Perfect foccacia! Now I’m going to need a good pot of soup to go with this! Definitely a recipe to keep on hand to use over and over again!
I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe, Betsy!
Love this! But how do I print
