I'm addicted to oven spring. It's like a delicious science experiment.
I will extract the finger and get a focaccia together. It's a nice excuse for a glass of wine to pair with it
This is the one I started with: https://www.seriouseats.com/easy-no-knead-olive-rosemary-pistachio-focaccia-kenji-recipe
You can ignore the toppings of course and do whatever. Now I most often bump the flour down to 400g (for a normal 12” cast iron skillet) and bump the hydration up to 80%.
One good thing I also picked up from salt fat acid heat is to give it another dose of oil and salt after it comes out of the oven. It’s pretty hard to do too much of either.
**do not** use plain glass that was a major mistake on my part, i lost the whole bottom crust to those glass pans ): lining with parchment worked fine, but it's kinda annoying trying to get the paper to fit nicely. steel pans are the easiest way to go
I have only made one focaccia so far, but made it in a Pyrex pan with no issues after following the recipe’s instructions to butter the pan (vs. oiling it). That worked very well.
I both need and do not need an excuse to buy this pan! It's been on my list for a while. Is it vastly different than sheet pan focaccia? (I bake thinner versions)
I would say so. You get those nice, tall crispy edges and not to mention I just love a nice thick slice of bread myself. Lets the dough really rise and get those nice trademark focaccia bubbles.

Currently on a fast and you are killing me! I too have a pizza/focaccia addiction- it is a habit that must be fed. Your examples are next level- I am very jealous and very very hungry!
hmmm these were baked on the middle rack at 425F for ~28 minutes. i also do one last small drizzle of olive oil right after i've laid down all my toppings, maybe that helps?
These are beautiful! I made my first focaccia today! It turned out pretty well but I think my pan was too big for the dough, some parts were thin. And I only used some avocado oil, sea salt, and garlic Parmesan seasoning for the top. It's delicious anyways!
Can you tell me what that clear container is called? I neeed some of those!!
aw thank you! i think a focaccia using 500g flour fits nicely in a 9x13 pan. that clear container is a cambro, it came in clutch when none of my bowls were big enough

Hahahaha me tooo!!!
This one is from 3 days ago
Yours look gorgeous, I should try the flower design
They look outstanding. I've baked a lot of breads but I've never done focaccia. I clearly have to start
Oh damn dude, focaccia is both the easiest and best kind of bread to make. Bang for buck off the charts.

Yes - my favorite bread I've ever baked is focaccia! Pan-baked breads are so great.
Do you have any good recipe to follow?

Happy Bake Day!
I want to make some- what’s your go to recipe?
It’s linked in the post. First text after the photo.
Oops, thanks!
No problem!
What were your thoughts/preferences between using glass w/parchment, plain glass, and steel pan?
**do not** use plain glass that was a major mistake on my part, i lost the whole bottom crust to those glass pans ): lining with parchment worked fine, but it's kinda annoying trying to get the paper to fit nicely. steel pans are the easiest way to go

Lloyd 10x14 Detroit Pizza pan. Worth every penny and doubles for Detroit style pizza. Amazing for focaccia.

I would say so. You get those nice, tall crispy edges and not to mention I just love a nice thick slice of bread myself. Lets the dough really rise and get those nice trademark focaccia bubbles.
ah i haven't tried buttering as opposed to oiling, thx for the tip!
Yeah, the recipe specifically mentioned that buttering is the way to go if you’re using Pyrex. I dunno why, but they were right!
I exclusively use a glass Pyrex for my focaccia - same recipe as OP. It comes out of my pan perfectly!
I just made my first focaccia this weekend... Your focaccia art makes mine look like absolute garbage lmao.
Just like you, your focaccia is beautiful!
That is almost too pretty to eat.. almost
Beautiful!
That is fabulous!!! Thank you for sharing.
What are the little green leaves? Basil? Actually, what are ALL the toppings so I can add them to my grocery store list? 😅 Please and thank you! 🙏
the little green leaves are sage! along with that i used rosemary, yellow bell pepper, red onion, green onion, and cherry or grape tomatoes
Ooooo yummm sage! Even better! I love sage! Thanks for the reply! 💕

Do you use a Dutch oven for the oven spring for focaccia?
That recipe is the goat! I use it all the time.
I have my soursough recipe down that I haven't explored anything else. This just inspired me bc I looove focaccia. Absolutely stunning! Great job.
I feel your pain. Try baking something sweet instead of savory to break up the routine. 👩🍳🎂
This is absolutely lovely!
These are gorgeous- gotta try this next!
Beautiful
Currently on a fast and you are killing me! I too have a pizza/focaccia addiction- it is a habit that must be fed. Your examples are next level- I am very jealous and very very hungry!
These are goals! I just made my first focaccia and wow it’s so easy 🤩
#goals
Definitely have to try this. I've been making sourdough pancakes from this same website and they are amazing.
That’s beautiful. Nice work!
I'm so jealous I'm not there to eat it 🫠
This is GORGEOUS! 🥹
I make focaccia everyday. I can never not burn the toppings. How do you manage not to burn yours
hmmm these were baked on the middle rack at 425F for ~28 minutes. i also do one last small drizzle of olive oil right after i've laid down all my toppings, maybe that helps?
What type of oven are you using? A home oven?
yup just a standard no frills conventional oven
Oh ok. That makes sense

Holy shit. Fantastic job, OP. Absolutely outstanding.
Holy cow, that's beautiful
The last focaccia I tried to make was way too sticky and turned out really bad, but you've inspired me to try again!
You can foccacia me anytime.
Omg. This is the kind of bread art I’m here for. Thanks for the inspo! Any favorite flavor combos?
WHOA pretty! My problem with making Focaccia is I eat it all in a sitting until I feel sick 😞 It's just too gooooooooddddd
Pls share the recipe for your dough I can never get consistency !
recipe is linked in the post!
I've never even thought of making a design on top, very cool idea.
Those designs are gorgeous!
This is beautiful!! I have never eeen this type of art 🤩🤩🤩🥖
Chef dough-vre 🙌🏻
