No Knead Whole Wheat Focaccia Bread with Rosemary
Are you craving the comfort of freshly baked bread but short on time? Say hello to my latest speedy recipe: No-Knead Whole Wheat Focaccia with Rosemary! Unlike other whole-grain bread recipes that yield dense breads, this no-knead whole-wheat bread is tender-crumbed and airy. As a bonus, it’s made with fewer than 10 ingredients and will be on the table in just over an hour!
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups warm water, (around 110 degrees)
- 1 packet rapid-rise active dry yeast
- 3.25 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp dried rosemary, chopped into very small pieces, divided
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more to top
- 1/8 tsp black pepper and sea salt, to top
Instructions
- Add the water to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water, evenly. Don’t mix, just allow the yeast to sit there for a couple of minutes. It will begin to foam a bit.
- Mix in the flour, sea salt, half the rosemary, and olive oil using a dough hook on a standing mixer (or with a spoon). Once everything is combined mix the dough for 3-4 more minutes. If you added 3 cups of flour to start add the remaining ¼ cup if necessary.
- Leave the focaccia dough in the mixing bowl and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise at room temperature for 20 minutes. Since you’re using rapid-rise yeast it will be a quick dough rise. If you are not using instant yeast, you’ll want to add 30-40 more minutes for the initial rise.
- After the first rise remove the dough and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll into a round or rectangular shape, about 1 inch thick. You can also add the dough into an 8" x 8" baking pan. Pierce holes on the top of the dough using a fork or press down with your fingers to create indents. Cover with a towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes for the second rise.
- In the meantime preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- After 20 minutes remove the towel and spread 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil on the top. Sprinkle the remaining rosemary, sea salt, and pepper as well.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden. If your dough is rolled out thicker it could take a couple of minutes longer in the oven. Serve warm and enjoy!
