You Can’t Mess Up This Easy Rosemary-Parmesan Focaccia

Easy Rosemary-Parmesan Focaccia is a cinch to mix and knead in a bread machine. It’s a great recipe for beginning bread-bakers.

Don’t feel left out if you don’t have a bread machine, this flavorful focaccia can easily be made by hand or with a stand mixer.

BREAD-MACHINE-ROSEMARY-PARMESAN-FOCCACIA - on a pizza stoneMy Favorite Pizza Dough Recipe makes another appearance today disguised as Easy Rosemary-Parmesan Focaccia.  This recipe is even easier than pizza.  Again, I recommend using a bread machine only to mix and knead the dough.  Bake in your regular oven.

Trust me, this isn’t a difficult recipe.

Have you tried to make bread before and it wasn’t what you hoped? I get it. The whole process can be intimidating. Throw a bread machine into the mix and things can go downhill fast.

Let me encourage you to give it another try. I’ll hold your hand. Get out your bread machine (or stand mixer or just do it by hand) and let’s get started. If you have a question or problem, just shoot me an email.

  1. Dear Paula,

    I have a question Paula. In your recipe for Bread Machine Rosemary Parmesan Foccacia one of the ingredients is 2 1/4 t. bread machine yeast. I have regular dry active yeast in a jar. How much of the regular dry active yeast should I use?

    Thank-you,
    ~Lori

    • Lori,
      Use the same amount of yeast. However, you must dissolve it before adding to the other ingredients. Just use about 1/4 cup of the warm water specified in the recipe. Stir the yeast into the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then add to the other ingredients and proceed as usual.

  2. Thank you for including directions on adjusting dough consistency. I have made wet dough before and guessed at how much flour to add. Your instructions will make a difference.

  3. Hi! I just found this site and have a question on the focacia. When you say to run through the dough cycle, do you mean kneading and rising? Or just the kneading?

  4. Your pizza recipe called for bread flour, which I went ahead and bought — pizza was delicious, thank you! Instead of making two circles, I spread it in one of my “1/2 sheet” cookie pans. Also made the dough the night before, took it out of the fridge, let it rest about 20 min., then was able to spread it out.
    My question is — this recipe says unbleached all purpose flour — why not bread flour?

  5. Hi Paula, thanks you for your awesome recipes, my greek yogurt is near perfect, I jar now almost everything, and I got a bread maker.. yeah!! something I wouldn’t have though of it since I used to hand knead my bread.. my bread now rises beautifully (not before with this Texas weather). Now I have a question, I normally weight most of my baking ingredients, how much in grams or oz. would be your cup of flour for the Foccacia, thank you.

    • Hi Alejandra,

      Weighing flour to make bread is definitely the better way. My cup of flour equals 4.5 ounces or 127 grams. That’s what it was with today’s humid conditions and the way I stirred the flour and the cup I used. etc. In other words, it can vary. That’s why it may be necessary to make adjustments as you go. Lots of articles on the internet about why there is so much variation. paula

  7. Um…didn’t work out for me. Did you forget the salt? It also didn’t set up properly and just turned to crunch. Was really hopeful…

    • Holly,
      I am completely embarrassed. Yes, I did leave out the salt. It should have 1 teaspoon. I make this recipe from memory all the time so I never look at this recipe. So sorry. Hope you weren’t having company. 🙁

  8. Hi Paula,

    I stumbled here and it’s a godsend. I have a bread machine and needed ideas for making delicious rolls. I also agree that the machine works wonder with kneading and first proofing, but not so great with baking.

    How would you recommend if I need to keep the dough for a few hours or a day before baking?

  9. I have been trying to only use whole white and whole wheat flours. Do you think they would work as a substitute for this recipe? It looks so delicious and I would love to try it.
    Thanks!

  11. Is it supposed to be soft? I’m not sure if I didn’t cook it long enough, The inside was soft and normal but the crust top and bottom were also soft. It may also have been that I used 2 1/2 cups of white whole wheat and 1/2C all purpose flour. It tastes good so I guess that is what counts the most. lol

    Also getting ready to bake your crusty french bread, looking forward to it.

    • Hi Leigh,
      If you brush the pan and the bread with olive oil, you should have a crispy bottom but not so crispy, more chewy crust. A lot depends on your pan. In fact, my daughter-in-laws covet my pizza pans which I inherited from a previous working stint in research and development at Pizza Inn many years ago. If it tasted good, sounds like you did it right. pr
