Whole-Wheat Focaccia Now, ready to get your hands floury? Let’s gather our ingredients:

Ingredients:

2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
1½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), optional for topping
Sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means your yeast is working its magic!
Add the whole-wheat flour and all-purpose flour to the bowl, along with the salt and olive oil. Mix until it forms a sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Don’t be afraid to get a little workout in!
Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch it out to fit the pan, making little dimples with your fingers all over the top.
If you’re using fresh herbs, sprinkle them over the top now, then drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle sea salt on top. We want all that flavor!
Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and sounds hollow when you tap it on the bottom. The aroma is gonna make your kitchen smell heavenly!
Once it’s done, let it cool slightly, then slice it up and serve warm. Enjoy!

This Whole-Wheat Focaccia is not just a recipe; it’s a celebration of flavors and textures that will elevate any meal. So, roll up your sleeves, put on some music, and let’s make this delicious bread together!
