Focaccia bread is made with pantry staples that are mixed by hand, then let rest and folded, before proofing, adding dimples and topping with whatever you have for a crisp crust, and an open fluffy interior. Full recipe linked below.

A couple of notes on this focaccia. I like using a fairly high hydration dough. For this recipe, my water amount is 75% of the flour. This leads to focaccia with a thin, but really crisp crust and a soft interior with fairly large holes inside, this texture and size I find perfect for making sandwiches with. While the end product I prefer much more, a high hydration dough will naturally be really sticky and can be annoying to work with if you aren't used to it but don't worry I'll show you how.
