How to make No knead Eggless Focaccia Bread
- Step 1
For the most moist focaccia bread, in a large bowl, mix lukewarm water, yeast, and honey or sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Step 2
Add flour, salt, and chopped herbs to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Step 3
Gradually add olive oil while kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Step 4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Step 5
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Grease a baking tray with olive oil.
- Step 6
Spread the dough onto the tray, pressing it gently to fit the shape. Use your fingers to create dimples on the surface.
- Step 7
Drizzle olive oil over the dough and sprinkle additional herbs if desired.
- Step 8
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
