Focaccia, the Easiest Homemade Bread
Thought no-knead bread was easy? Try this focaccia. Blake Royer of The Paupered Chef (and co-writer of Serious Eats' column Dinner Tonight) had tried the famous no-knead bread once, but it was still too much of a hassle to time everything correctly. So what do you do when you want fresh bread for dinner?
Enter focaccia. Using a Nigel Slater recipe, Blake makes the dough with just an hour of rising time and then it's off to the oven. Brushed with a thyme, garlic, parsley, and olive oil topping, and studded with olives, this quick focaccia is a hearty supplement to any meal.

This is inspiring. I rarely make bread because it's so time consuming and I am not good at baking, but this sounds really easy and looks so delicious I will have to give it a try.

I have this baking right now. It smells fabulous! I mixed olive oil, ground italian seasonings and fresh garlic to spread on the top. I can't wait for it to come out!

I absolutely love homemade focaccia, there are so many options with what you can put on it. It was one of the first breads that we ever made ourselves. Yum!!

I made this last night, and I can't wait to make it again. It rivaled the focaccia I had when visiting Liguria last summer. I made it with chopped walnuts and garlic, brushed on with the olive oil. It was amazing bread - my local bakery is going to lose a lot of my business!

I made it with my friends on sunday - my first time baking bread! We topped the focaccia with fresh rosemary, dried mixed herbs, garlic cloves and olive oil. It was amazing! The thinner version (spread on a baking sheet) yielded better results though. :)
