Quick White Wine Flatbread (No-Yeast Focaccia)

This is a 'quick focaccia' variation made with baking powder instead of yeast, substituting part of the liquid with wine. Since there's no rising time, the texture is denser, resembling a savory scone or biscuit more than airy bread. The acidity of the wine reacts with the baking powder, aiding the rise and adding a unique aroma.

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar).

Tip: Mix the baking powder thoroughly to avoid uneven taste spots.
2

Add the wine and oil, then quickly mix together.

Tip: Do not overmix! As soon as moisture hits the baking powder, gas production starts. Overmixing will deflate the bubbles.
3

Press into the baking sheet and place in the oven immediately.

Tip: No resting here; the chemical reactions happen instantly.
4

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Tip: Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Recipe FAQ

Why isn't it as airy as store-bought?
Because this is a baking powder dough, not yeast-based. The structure is chemically different—more crumbly than elastic.
