Easy Yeast-Free Focaccia
Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed dried basil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray or applying a thin layer of butter or margarine to prevent the dough from sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine water and mix it with flour, baking powder, and salt until they form a uniform blend.
4
Using the dough hook attachment on your electric mixer, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the water until a cohesive ball forms.
5
Alternatively, you can also achieve this by mixing all the ingredients together in a large bowl and then transferring them to a floured surface, where you can knead the dough until it comes together in a single mass.
6
Once your dough has formed, remove it from the mixing bowl and place it onto a lightly floured surface.
7
Using your hands, shape the dough into the desired dimensions and spread it evenly across the prepared baking pan to a thickness of approximately half an inch.
8
The dough may appear sticky and elastic at this stage, but don't worry – it's supposed to be.
9
As you're spreading the dough, make sure to cover the entire surface and avoid any gaps or holes.
10
Finally, take a moment to brush the top and sides of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle it with cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and dried basil for added flavor.
11
Place the dough in your preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until it's lightly golden brown.
12
Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese. Return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until it's just golden and perfectly cooked.
