Easy Vegan Focaccia Bread

Add active dry yeast (2.25 teaspoon) and sugar (1 Tablespoon) to warm water (1 cup) and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together flour (2.5 cups), salt (1 teaspoon), dried italian seasoning (1 Tablespoon), and garlic (5 cloves). Add extra virgin olive oil (0.25 cup).

When the yeast mixture foams, add to flour mixture and stir until dough starts to form. If it’s too sticky, add flour (1 tbsp) at a time until tacky. If too dry, slowly add warm water (1 tsp) at a time.

Knead the dough with your hands for about [5-7 mins]. Form a smooth ball and place in a covered bowl in a warm space (~78°F) for minutes (60) or until doubled in size. Start 7m timer

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large 9-10 inch pan, add extra virgin olive oil (0.25 cup). Place the dough into the pan and using your fingers, spread it out until it reaches the edge, creating dimples.

Flip the dough and repeat, creating dimples with your fingers. Sprinkle with more [salt] and cover until your oven is preheated. Place in the center rack of the oven and bake for approximately minutes (28) or until the top is golden brown. Start 28m timer
