Creating Easy Sourdough Discard Focaccia Bread is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
2. Add Sourdough Discard: Add the sourdough starter discard to the dry mixture.
3. Incorporate Water: Slowly pour in warm water and fold the mixture until combined.
4. Add Olive Oil: Stir in the olive oil until fully integrated and the dough becomes sticky.
5. Knead the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 5 minutes until it is smooth.
6. First Rise: Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise for about 2 hours at room temperature until it doubles in size.
7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) during the last 30 minutes of the dough rising.
8. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a baking sheet or a large baking dish with olive oil.
9. Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and gently stretch it into a rectangle, filling out the edges.
10. Dimple the Dough: Use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface of the dough.
11. Add Toppings: Drizzle more olive oil over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh herbs. Add any optional toppings if desired.
12. Second Rise: Let the dough rest for 30 minutes before baking to allow for some additional puffiness.
13. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
14. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

This easy-to-follow method is designed for success, ensuring you create an amazing focaccia every time.
