Focaccia is a delicious Italian flatbread that’s soft, airy, and perfect for dipping or making sandwiches. Here’s how to make an eggless version:

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
  • Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Activating the Yeast:

  1. In a bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Preparing the Dough:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
  2. Mix the ingredients to form a dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

3. Shaping and Proofing:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking tray.
  3. Using your fingers, press the dough to spread it out evenly in the tray.
  4. Cover the tray and let the dough rise for another 20-30 minutes.

4. Baking the Focaccia:

  1. After the second rise, make dimples in the dough using your fingers.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the surface of the dough and spread it out evenly.
  3. Sprinkle chopped rosemary and coarse sea salt on top.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the focaccia is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  5. Remove from the oven and brush the top with a little more olive oil.

5. Serving:

  1. Cut the focaccia into squares or wedges and serve warm.
  2. Enjoy this eggless focaccia bread with your favorite dips or as a side to soups and salads.

Tips:

  • You can customize the toppings according to your preference. Try sliced olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or caramelized onions for added flavor.
  • Make sure the water is warm, not hot, when activating the yeast to ensure proper yeast activation.

This eggless focaccia bread is soft, flavorful, and perfect for sandwiches or dipping into olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Enjoy making and savoring this delicious Italian flatbread!
