Best focaccia dough

  • 4 c. flour
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. instant yeast
  • 2 c. lukewarm water
  • Olive oil
  • Salt 

Directions

First, add the three dry ingredients together and stir in the water. Mix the dough thoroughly and once done, cover the bowl and immediately transfer to the refrigerator for at least 12-18 hours. Once the required time is up, remove and deflate your dough.  Cut your dough in half and place into to pie pans that have a coating of olive oil or whatever dish you’d like depending on the desired thickness. Leave the dough balls to sit for 2-4 hours more. Once the time is up, use another tablespoon of oil and use your fingers to create deep dimples. You can sprinkle flaky salt as well. Now, you can add whatever pizza toppings you’d like before baking the final product. Back for 25 min. at 425 degrees until golden-brown.

Easy as that!

The hardest part is leaving the dough to sit in the refrigerator long enough to work its magic. Honestly, the longer you can leave it, the better the crust will be. A fun idea is to do up a large batch of the dough the night before your friendly gathering and prepare a bunch of different toppings ahead of time and you can host a create-your-own pizza night that will blow the socks off any pizza snob.  To top off the pizza celebration, be sure to pick up some bubbly Prosecco from your local shop because focaccia bread pizza and Prosecco are like peanut butter and jelly.
