Ingredients

Dough

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour ($0.59)
  • 1/2 Tbsp salt ($0.05)
  • 1/4 tsp instant yeast ($0.02)
  • 1.5 to 2 cups water (room temperature) ($0.00)

Topping and Finishing

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.24)
  • 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning ($0.30)
  • Non-stick spray for baking sheets

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and instant yeast. Stir the dry ingredients until evenly mixed. Add 1.5 cups of water gradually, stirring until a cohesive, wet dough ball forms without dry flour remaining at the bottom. Add more water little by little if needed, up to 2 cups total, to achieve a sticky but combined dough.
  2. Ferment: Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough sit at room temperature for 16-18 hours. During this time, the dough will ferment and develop bubbles, becoming airy and soft.
  3. Divide and Shape: After fermentation, dust the dough with flour and scrape it onto a well-floured surface. Use additional flour on your hands and surface as needed because the dough will be wet and sticky. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a small ball, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
  4. Prepare for Rising: Lightly spray two baking sheets with non-stick spray and line with foil. Place the shaped dough balls on the sheets with space between them. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil and sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over each roll. Let the rolls rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while the rolls rise. When the oven is fully preheated and the rolls have risen appropriately, bake them for about 25 minutes or until their surfaces turn a light golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove the focaccia rolls from the oven and serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • The dough is naturally wet and sticky; use plenty of flour when shaping the rolls to prevent sticking.
  • Fermenting the dough overnight develops flavor and texture without kneading.
  • You can adjust Italian seasoning to your preference or add other herbs like rosemary or thyme.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven to restore softness.
