Easy Focaccia Bread
An easier take on Giuseppe's Focaccia Bread from Great British Bake Off ™ Season 12. This version uses a single bread flour and skips the yeast bloom, swaps the three bulk rises and stretch-and-folds for one simple rise, and merges the oil glaze into a final drizzle — keeping the airy, dimpled crumb and the cherry tomato, olive, and rosemary top that make it focaccia.
