Quick Yeast-Free Vegan Focaccia

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Side Dishes
The enemy of focaccia is usually time: yeast doughs need hours. This recipe bypasses that using baking powder for instant lift. While denser and more biscuit-like than yeast bread, it yields a quick, tasty, crispy flatbread that's a lifesaver when you need bread *now*.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Crucial for baking powder 'shock'.

Tip: Cold oven = dried out flatbread.
2 ✓

Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Tip: Whisk well to distribute leavening.
3 ✓

Add water and oil. Mix quickly just until flour disappears.

Tip: Do not knead! Overmixing makes it tough.
4 ✓

Line pan with parchment, oil it. Tip dough in and pat to 3/4 inch thick.

Tip: Oil hands to prevent sticking.
5 ✓

Dimple top, drizzle oil, sprinkle salt.

Tip: Oil creates crispy crust.
6 ✓

Bake immediately for 15-20 mins.

Tip: Chemical reaction starts on wet contact, so speed is key.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it bitter?
Too much baking powder or not mixed well.
It's flat.
