Description
A stress-free, pan-fried focaccia recipe that yields tender, golden bread with a garlicky butter glaze.
Ingredients
- Soft focaccia dough (12–16 ounces)
- Olive oil (2–4 tablespoons)
- Garlic confit (3–4 tablespoons, warmed)
- Vegan butter (2 tablespoons)
- Vegan parmesan (2–3 tablespoons, grated)
- Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
- Seeds (1–2 tablespoons, optional)
- Dried or fresh rosemary (1 teaspoon dried or 1–2 teaspoons chopped fresh, optional)
- Cracked black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (to taste, optional)
- Roasted vegetables (optional)
- Sliced olives or artichoke hearts (optional)
Instructions
- Bring the dough to room temperature (20–30 minutes).
- Prep your skillet: preheat over low to medium-low heat with 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Shape the dough into a disc (8–10 inches across).
- Pan-fry the first side for 8–12 minutes with a lid on.
- Flip the focaccia and cook the second side for 6–10 minutes.
- Make the garlic butter glaze by warming the garlic confit and mixing with melted vegan butter.
- Brush the focaccia with the garlic butter glaze and sprinkle with toppings.
- Let it rest for 3–5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
Letting the dough rest is crucial for easy shaping. Adjust toppings to your preference and add heavier toppings after cooking.
