Discover the ultimate recipe for homemade focaccia with a little help from your bread machine! This easy and time-saving method streamlines the dough-making process, delivering soft, fluffy focaccia with minimal effort. Infused with honey for a subtle sweetness, the dough is brought to life with fragrant olive oil and topped with a sprinkling of coarse sea salt for that signature savory crunch. Optional fresh rosemary makes it even more irresistible. Perfectly golden and airy, this focaccia is ideal as a side dish, sandwich bread, or even a snack on its own. With just 90 minutes of prep and a quick bake, you’ll have bakery-quality bread on your table in no time.
Pour the warm water, olive oil, and honey into your bread machine pan.
Add the salt, all-purpose flour, and instant yeast to the pan, ensuring the yeast does not directly touch the salt.
Set your bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. This cycle typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once the dough cycle is complete, gently remove the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread the dough out evenly into the pan with your fingers.
Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Using your fingertips, poke dimples all over the risen dough. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the surface and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Add chopped fresh rosemary on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
