Description
A delightful variation of classic focaccia using leftover sourdough starter, resulting in warm, fluffy bread with a hint of tang.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- ¼ cup olive oil (or melted butter)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Toppings: sea salt, rosemary, garlic, etc.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and olive oil. Gradually mix in the flour and salt until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, grease a baking sheet or cast-iron skillet with olive oil.
- Once risen, gently stretch the dough onto the prepared pan.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Dimple the surface of the dough, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and add any desired toppings.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, keep the dough slightly sticky and ensure a warm environment for rising. Experiment with toppings to suit your taste.
