This is the easiest, no-knead, artisan bread that anyone can make. All you need is flour, water, salt, and a little bit of yeast. This is a reimagined version of Jim Lahey’s famous, no-knead bread.

Here are the ingredients: Flour - 3 cups or 360g Salt - 1 1/4 tsp or 7g Instant Yeast - 1/4 tsp or 1g Water - 1 1/2 cups or 295g Inspiration… Jim Lahey’s No-knead Bread (his old video): https://youtu.be/13Ah9ES2yTU My original no-knead bread video: https://youtu.be/NNmJMHa1QWA #jimlahey #nokneadbread #homemadebread

This is the best sourdough focaccia. Seriously. And it's so easy to make! A great thing about focaccia is you get to use extra virgin olive oil three different times in this recipe - inside the dough, in the pan, and on top of the dough before you bake it. That triple-threat of olive oil makes the focaccia super soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and absolutely delicious.
