Easy Focaccia Ingredients

Rhode’s Bake-N-Serv frozen bread rolls: The secret ingredient in my focaccia no-knead recipe! These handy bread rolls come in packs of 36 frozen dough balls and can be used in a heap of different ways.

In the past, I’ve used them to make cinnamon pull-apart bread and garlic and herb rolls, so with summer on the way I decided to have a go at focaccia with juicy tomatoes and herbs! The results were incredible. The benefits of using Rhode’s Bake-N-Serv bread rolls include:

• No kneading
• No messing around with yeast
• Free from GMOs and artificial preservatives
• 100% plant-based!

Focaccia Bread Art Ingredients

When it comes to decorating your focaccia no knead bread, the possibilities are endless. Vegetables, herbs, and spices are all great options. Some of my favorites are:

• Olive oil, salt + freshly cracked black pepper
• Cherry tomatoes, red onion + garlic
• Bell peppers
• Basil, rosemary, thyme, etc
• Kalamata olives

Focaccia No Knead Method

1. Start by evenly spacing the Rhodes Bake-N-Serv frozen bread rolls across a silicone baking mat or lined baking tray. 
2. Place in a warm place (I like to put mine in the oven with the light on for a little warmth). Allow the rolls to defrost and then rise for between three and five hours until the dough has roughly doubled in size.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the toppings for your focaccia bread art.
4. Use your fingertips to flatten the bread rolls, and then press dents into the surface.
5. Scatter the cherry tomatoes, onion, herbs, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper across the surface of the bread dough, and then drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. 

6. Set aside to rise for another one to two hours.
7. Preheat the oven to 350F/176C.
8. Once risen, place the focaccia no knead rolls into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
9. Remove the bread from the oven and set it aside to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Mmmmm warm bread

Recipe Swaps for Focaccia No Knead Bread

The best part about focaccia bread art is how creative it allows you to be! Experiment with toppings, switch up vegetables and herbs, and let your imagination run wild. Pinterest and Instagram are both great sources of inspiration. 

How to Serve

If you prefer warm bread, serve your focaccia soon after baking. Let the bread cool down for 5-10 minutes so you can handle it. Alternatively, allow it to cool completely and enjoy as a side to your favorite meal or even in place of regular bread for an extra tasty sandwich!

How to Store

You should eat your focaccia no knead bread soon after baking while it’s fresh and fluffy, or ideally within 24 hours of baking. If necessary, refresh your focaccia bread by placing pieces in the oven (350F/176C) for 5 to 10 minutes.
