This 4-ingredient recipe requires only 5 minutes of hands-on time. Video guidance below! Adapted from the focaccia recipe in Bread Toast Crumbs.

Recipe: Easy, same-day peasant bread recipe by Alexandra Stafford.

Adapted from Bread Toast Crumbs 11/15/2024 Update: I recently updated the recipe slightly in that I've upped the amount of flour from the start to 550 gram, and I've also, as a result, upped the salt. This higher amount of flour makes the dough slightly more manageable to work with and does not sacrifice any flavor. Notes: Scale: For best results, please use a digital scale to measure. Salt: I now make these with 15 grams of kosher salt, which is about 5 teaspoons of Diamond Crystal kosher…

Notes: Egg steaming method adapted from J. Kenji Lopez Alt's The Food Lab. I steam my eggs for 10 minutes as opposed to 12, and I find that to be perfect. It may take some trial and error to get the timing right for you. If you like to use your Instant Pot, here is my Instant Pot hard-boiled egg recipe. I find 1 large celery stalk yields about a heaping 1/3 cup of diced celery. I use all of it. I like celery. Use more or less to taste. Pickle Juice: This is a recent discovery and…

Looking for ways to use your sourdough discard - this is the bread recipe you need! It's simple, tasty and ensures your sourdough starter creates no waste.

** UPDATE: VIDEO GUIDANCE IS HERE ** The makeup of this dough is the same as this sourdough focaccia. Here, the dough is baked in a loaf pan, and there is no sea salt on top. This recipe yields one large loaf. You'll need a 10 x 5-inch loaf pan, such as this one. If you only have two smaller loaf pans, such as 8.5 x 4.5-inch pans, you should probably split the dough in half after the first rise. Plan ahead: This dough rises first for 6 to 18 hours (or less if it is super hot out or if you…
