The MOST OPEN CRUMB SOURDOUGH FOCACCIA you’ll ever make

The softest open crumb Sourdough Focaccia I ever made is incredibly easy to do. So easy that this was my very first test. It features a beautiful springy dough packed with the classic sourdough taste. With this NO-KNEAD method, I was able to achieve the perfect crumb and texture I was looking for and I couldn't be happier with the results. It's still very strange to me what you can do with just a couple of sets of "stretch and fold" along with some good old bread flour and a fragrant sourdough starter. Please try it, you won't regret/forget it.

[@claretmichelangeli3000]

I just made it…deliciousness and gorgeousness!

[@Vegaleynakoc]

I made sourdough focaccia for the first time. I am proud of myself. The recipe is really great. It's a pride for me to see my own sourdough working. I don't have a precision scale, but I tried to measure it somehow and it worked. and it really is easier than it looks. Yes, it takes two days to make, but you only spend a few minutes. While I'm waiting for the dough to rest, I take care of my other work, then I fold the dough in a minute and continue my work. Those who are afraid to try, please try it, you will fall in love. I'm very new to sourdough, being successful with focaccia has encouraged me to try new recipes. I am grateful for this delicious recipe and cinematographic shot, now I will make my second focaccia. I tried it with store yeast a few days ago, now I make it with my own natural sourdough, oh it feels great to think about it. I'm glad I discovered you. Making sourdough really requires patience, but the result is amazing, it was worth the wait! I'm in love with sourdough! 🥰

I wanted to say, I have more than 6 months thinking of making my own. Learning how to make it from scratch. So I have started my starter and is now ready. Ordered more flour and waiting mom the baking tray. But I’ve watched hundreds of videos on how to make focaccia and yours is the only one that looks like I can eat it from the screen. Looks beautiful and I feel has the best recipe and bounce. Your video is my favorite I think I’ve watched it with my son more than 10x just so I can remember. Can’t wait to try your recipe and use your methods. Just wanted to let you know the best looking focaccia on the internet and I’ve used multiple platforms. And yours is still the best ❤

I use 150 gr of rye, whole meal flour mix, 250 gr bread flour in total 400 grs. The result has smaller wholes in the bread still soft and airy and the taste is deeper. I also add some chopped fresh rosemary in, while adding salt.

By my calculations if I start around 6 pm, it should be ready for dinner the next day: 100 grams active (freshly fed) starter 320 grams water 400 g flour 15 g olive oil 8 g salt Mix one minute. Rest 30 minutes #1 Stretch and fold (wet hands first) Rest 30 minutes #2 Stretch and fold Rest 2-3 hours Coil fold before bedtime Rest 14-16 hours Shape, seal ends well Use 8*8 inch pan, (olive-oiled) Rise 3 hours Drizzle /spread with 15 g olive oil/15 g water mix Add toppings (press in deeply) Bake 25 minutes at 450F

[@jaroslawde90]

Hi! The liquid starter is different as I see on the movie. You just use a regular starter with 100% hydration? Regards

[@imateel]

What do you feed your starter with? Do you use dry yeast at all for this recipe? You inspire me to make this focaccia. Thanks for this beautiful video!

[@MileZeroKitchen]

Sometimes I feed it with 50% whole wheat and 50% bread flour. Sometimes just bread flour. Yes i do use the dry yeast from time to time (i have another recipe here on the channel - the potato focaccia, made with dry yeast), but sourdough is always better! Thanks for watching Tami! :)

How did your dough inflate so much in the fridge? What temperature is your fridge at? Mine looks just like I did when I put it in.

[@Sushii555]

So far its my 2nd time making this. It's surely one of the most beautiful foccacias that my friends and I have ever tried. Though my crumb is not comparable to yours. Maybe I need to rest my dough for a full 3 hours instead of 2 bfore coil folds. Do you let the dough come to room temp after taking it out of the fridge? My dough looked exactly the same as I put it in 14 hours ago and yours looked like it became much more active somehow in cold ferments.

[@MileZeroKitchen]

Hey Justin, I'm glad you're enjoying the recipe! No, I shape from cold...it's much easier. Maybe it's the starter, try feeding it at least three times before using it at its peak. It needs to be VERY active. Good luck!

Beautiful video. When I try to mix dough that wet I end up with a pile of glue with no structure. I do the initial mix, let it rest, and when I try to stretch and fold it just falls apart.

[@Sushii555]

I might suggest doing an autolyse. Just flour and water for the gluten to develop first to provide that strength. Then add the rest of the ingredients. This is an 80% (I think) hydration dough so its not that easy for beginner bread makers.

Hello! Whenever I do a long cold proof in the fridge any sourdough based dough doesn’t seem to rise! Although it rises perfectly at room temp (20-23C). Shall I still try out the longer overnight proof?

I've had the same problem with proofing in the fridge. I'm going to try what Luana G did (just above your comment)...8 hours in the fridge and 8 out. Maybe i'll get better results with the rise.

[@Grayald]

The thing I love about focaccia is that it's such a simple recipe to make. One of the least fussy breads I've ever done. And one of the most delicious things on the planet, somehow. I just put this out for the first stretch and fold, and we'll see how it turns out. It will be the second sourdough focaccia I've ever made. I've made plenty of standard yeasted ones before, but the flavor difference really is on another level with a true sourdough starter. I have a young, feisty one named John Weck (it lives in a weck jar), and it has turned out some great pizzas already. Not sure what size that pan was, but that's the thickest focaccia I've ever seen by far, and I'm on board. Mine is going into a 9x13, So we'll see. Highly doubt mine will reach for the moon like that though. I almost want to layer the toppings in when I actually do the last fold to shape so that they're dispersed throughout, but I'll save that experiment for next time. Great looking bread.
