Christina Our Vegan Focaccia is so easy to make, fluffy, insanely delicious and bursting with flavour, airy, and with crispy sides and bottom. Everyone will love it and you won’t believe how simple it is to make!
Also isn’t it gorgeous? We feel like every focaccia is a masterpiece! You can really make art decorating focaccia!
The ingredients are few and easy and simple to get! Also, this Vegan Focaccia is made in just 30 minutes. You only need to let the dough rest in between for 2 and a half hours and that’s it! Such a yummy meal!
We strongly recommend freezing the leftovers. After you eat the first day, cut any leftovers into pieces and freeze them! Use a sealed container or plastic bag. You can freeze for up to 3 months, and this way ensures the focaccia will taste just as fresh as the first day. Simply place in the oven, toaster or skillet directly from the freezer, and it’s ready to enjoy like freshly made!

Equipment
Ingredients
Sponge
- 4 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tsp date sugar
- 2/3 cup water, at 43ºC/110ºF
- 1/2 cup bread flour, or white whole wheat flour
Dough
- 1/2 cup potato starch
- 1/2 tbsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 cups bread flour, or white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup water, at 37ºC
- 1 tbsp water, at 37ºC
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Toppings
- extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing the dough
- Flaked sea salt
- green asparagus
- cherry tomatoes
- green olives
- fresh rosemary
- sun-dried tomatoes
Instructions
Sponge
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the date sugar, active dry yeast, bread flour, and warm water (use a thermometer to make sure it's at at 43ºC/110ºF!).
- Let sit for 30 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel. This is a very important step – DON'T MISS IT! It should look like in the photo, bubbling.
Dough
- After the 30 minutes have passed, in a food processor, using the dough function, add the potato starch, sea salt, garlic powder, bread flour, water at 37ºC (use a thermometer to make sure), and the "sponge" you created before, and process until you get a smooth dough. Add the olive oil and process again for 30 seconds.
- Grease a large bowl with olive oil, and place the ball of dough in it, making sure its surface is all covered in olive oil as well. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and set aside at room temperature in a dark and dry place for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 250ºC/475ºF. Place a pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven to achieve a crispy bottom.
- After the resting time, the dough should have doubled in size.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured working surface and knead for a while until smooth.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten and shape it until the dough is about 1 cm / 1/2 inch thick.
- Grease a rectangular baking pan with extra-virgin olive oil, and place the focaccia on it. You could use parchment paper too.
- Using your finger tips, press down into the dough to make dimples all over the dough all the way to the bottom. Brush with more extra virgin olive oil.
- Now it's time to add your toppings. We added fresh asparagus, cherry tomatoes, green olives, fresh rosemary, and flaked sea salt. Press them into the focaccia.
- Place the baking pan right on top of the hot pizza stone and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and ready.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes after baking. We tried adding them before and they burned completely after only 10 minutes so we had to add new ones after.
- Slice and serve warm topped with more extra-virgin olive oil.
- Enjoy, it's delicious!
