A fluffy and flavorful sourdough discard focaccia that’s easy to make and perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • Toppings (e.g., herbs, sea salt, garlic, olives)

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the sourdough discard, water, and olive oil together until well combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast to create a dry mixture.
  3. Form Shaggy Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a shaggy dough forms. It’s okay if it’s a little rough around the edges!
  4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s ready for baking once the dough has risen.
  7. Shape the Dough: Gently stretch the dough into a rectangular shape in a greased baking pan. Don’t worry about making it perfect; rustic is beautiful!
  8. Dimple the Surface: Use your fingers to dimple the surface of the dough, creating little pockets that will catch the toppings and olive oil.
  9. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your desired toppings over the dimpled surface. Think fresh rosemary, flaked sea salt, or maybe some olives and garlic for extra flavor.
  10. Bake It: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the focaccia is golden brown and deliciously fragrant.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy the aroma wafting through your kitchen!

Notes

Store leftover focaccia in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to a month.
