Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup + 1 Tbsp water
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp olive oil for proofing
- 3 Tbsp olive oil for dimpling
- 3 Tbsp za’atar
Instructions:
- Microwave water in your 24 oz BounceBox for 30 seconds
- Add in yeast and 2 tsp olive oil, then whisk vigorously
- In your 48 oz BounceBox, combine flour and salt
- Add in your yeast mixture and stir until it forms a hydrated dough
- Cover with the lid and press down once for a vented seal. Let rest for 10 minutes
- Stretch and pull the dough over itself for 1-2 minutes. Wetting your hand with water will help with this step
- Drizzle 2 Tbsp olive oil over the dough, place the lid back on (pressing once), and let proof for 30 minutes
- Stretch and pull for another 1-2 minutes, then flip it over so it’s smooth side up. You may need to gently spread the dough out to the edges of the container
- Sprinkle za’atar and 3 Tbsp olive oil over the dough. Combine into a paste and spread it evenly. Begin pressing into the dough with your fingers to dimple it
- Top with flaky salt (optional), and bake at 425° for 25 minutes on the lowest rack of your oven
- Enjoy on its own or with labne and olive oil!

I’m sure the recipe is correct for some ovens. All are different .I have three ovens and all cook differently. Know your appliance and adjust temp and time accordingly before messing with the recipe.
Can you use different toppings?
Made the small round version today. Had to cook it 10 min longer than the 20 min in the recipe… didn’t add the last 2T OO as there was so much oil from the 1T left. Inside still seemed a little moist and dense…outside crunchy. Will definitely make again…great flavor…and tweak the recipe a bit
3/4 +1 Tbs water isn’t making a wet dough for me. Is that the correct amount? When using more does that increase the microwave time?
I made the foccacia today. Was great. Thanks for the recipe.
