Easy Focaccia Bread (Tomato + Rosemary Edition)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Homemade focaccia bread is one of the most satisfying recipes to create and enjoy!  It is full of flavour, and you can change it up as much as you like as well.  This recipe is great for a mid-day snack or as part of any meal! 

This bread recipe is simple and delicious. One of my favourite things about this recipe is how you can customize it to the season and what you like. I have made this focaccia bread topped with rosemary and Roma tomatoes right from our backyard garden.  But you can put ANY vegetables on this. Just top of mind, it would taste really good with thinly sliced zucchinis, squashes, caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes….the list of toppings are endless.  Or just keep it simple and put your favourite herbs and cheese on it. If you are ever stuck on topping ideas, think of the toppings you like on a pizza and it will work on the focaccia bread too.

Ingredients
  

For the dough

  • 1 tablespoon Raw honey
  • 1 pack Active dry yeast Or the same as 2 1/4 tsp
  • 1 1/2 cup Warm water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

For the Toppings

  • 5 Roma Tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 3 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • Drizzle Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together honey, yeast, and warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until the mixture starts bubbling. Tip: If your mixture does not bubble after 10 minutes, it is likely that your yeast is expired or the water used was too hot.
  • In a separate large bowl, mix salt, flour, and olive oil together. Pour the yeast mixture on top and mix until a dough ball comes together.
  • Once the dough ball is formed, lightly oil the bottom of the bowl and cover the dough, and allow it to rise for 1 hour in a warm spot.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F
  • After the dough has risen for 1 hour, stretch out the dough into a baking pan and push your fingers to create dimples all throughout the bread. Cover and let rise again for an additional 30 minutes in a warm area
  • Uncover the dough and top with thinly sliced tomatoes and rosemary sprigs. Drizzle with oil and bake in a 400 F oven for 15 minutes or until the top becomes golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Cut into squares and enjoy!
