Ever find yourself out of bread or baked goods and really craving some? I do! So I decided to try making a quick focaccia using instant yeast. Honestly, I had never tried it before because I usually prefer long rising times. But it was worth a shot, and I have to say the result was pretty good! Don’t expect the flavor of a focaccia that’s risen for 24 hours, but it’s definitely practical and quick—which is always a plus!

Steps

1

Combine the flour, sugar, olive oil, and instant yeast in a bowl or stand mixer. Start mixing while slowly adding half of the water.
2

Add the salt and the remaining water, continuing to mix. The dough will be very sticky. Transfer it to a baking sheet and spread it into a rectangle with your fingers, greasing your hands with oil to make it easier.
3

Drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with some coarse salt, and add a few rosemary leaves. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve!
