Fluffy Overnight No Knead Focaccia
Print Recipe

This overnight no-knead focaccia bread is incredibly easy to make and yields a delightfully airy and flavorful loaf. The long fermentation process develops a complex flavor that’s perfect for sandwiches, appetizers, or enjoying on its own.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons (10g) kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons (7g) instant or rapid-rise yeast
  • 2 cups (480ml) lukewarm water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • Optional toppings: flaky sea salt, rosemary, olives, cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the lukewarm water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The dough will be shaggy and sticky.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
  4. After the rising time, generously grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with olive oil.
  5. Gently scrape the dough into the prepared pan. It will be very soft and bubbly.
  6. Using your oiled fingers, gently stretch the dough to fill the pan. If it resists, let it rest for 10 minutes and try again.
  7. Drizzle generously with olive oil and dimple the surface of the dough with your fingertips.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and any desired toppings.
  9. Let the dough rest for another 30-60 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding garlic cloves to the olive oil before drizzling over the focaccia. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to pasta.
