Vegan Focaccia

Step 1

Grease a 9x13 oven safe dish with vegan butter. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bottom of the greased dish.

Step 2

Add all purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar and salt to a mixing bowl and mix together.

Step 3

Add warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix into a shaggy dough.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to the prepared 9x13 baking dish. Just tip the dough out into the dish, don't try and spread it or anything, just let it sit in the dish however it lands.

Step 5

Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour.

Step 6

After 1 hour you'll see that the dough will have risen and spread out in the dish.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 8

Dip your fingers in olive oil (to prevent them sticking) and then use your fingers to press holes all over the dough.

Step 9

Sprinkle fresh rosemary and sea salt on top of the dough and drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top.

Step 10

Bake for 20 minutes until beautifully golden on top.

Step 11

You can slice and serve directly in the dish, or you can remove the focaccia from the baking dish and cut into squares.

Step 12

Serve fresh and warm from the oven.
