Savor the Ultimate No-Yeast Focaccia Recipe for a Deliciously Fresh Bake

Ingredients

• A cup of water
• Two cups of all-purpose flour
• Two teaspoons of baking powder
• One teaspoon of salt
• A tablespoon of olive oil
• A teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• A teaspoon of garlic salt
• One and a half teaspoons of dried basil, crushed
• A quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Step 1

Let's start by preheating the oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and getting a 9x13 inch baking pan ready by giving it a good greasing.

Step 2

In the bowl of an electric mixer with a trusty dough hook, pour in some water. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add them to the water while mixing on medium speed until a lovely dough ball forms. Alternatively, mix water, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, then transfer the dough onto a floured surface for some kneading action until it comes together in a ball.

Step 3

Now, drop the dough into the greased baking pan and use your oiled fingers to spread it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. The dough might be a bit sticky and stretchy, but don't worry about making it perfectly uniform, just ensure there are no holes. Give the top and sides of the dough a nice rub with olive oil and sprinkle on some cayenne, garlic salt, and basil for extra flavor.

Step 4

Pop the pan into the preheated oven and let it bake for around 20 minutes. When it's done, take it out, sprinkle some delicious Parmesan cheese on top, and then slide it back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until it turns a lovely golden hue. Enjoy your freshly baked treat!
