An easy no-knead sourdough focaccia with a crispy crust, tender crumb, and flavorful rosemary and sea salt topping. Perfect for busy days when you want homemade bread without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240 ml) active sourdough starter
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) warm water (around 75°F / 24°C)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon fine sea salt.
  2. Add 1 cup active sourdough starter and 1 1/4 cups warm water. Stir gently until just combined; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Do not knead. (3-5 minutes)
  3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let sit at room temperature (around 70°F / 21°C) for 12 to 18 hours until doubled in size and bubbly.
  4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into a baking sheet or cast iron skillet and spread to coat the bottom.
  5. With oily hands, transfer the dough to the pan and spread evenly. Cover and let rest for 1 to 2 hours until slightly puffed.
  6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the dough. Press fingertips into the dough to create dimples all over the surface.
  7. Sprinkle chopped fresh rosemary evenly and finish with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt.
  8. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake focaccia for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

If focaccia browns too fast, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking. Wet hands with olive oil to handle sticky dough. Use fresh rosemary for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum. Refrigerate dough after first rise for make-ahead option.
