Two Ingredient Dough Focaccia Protein Bread

Looking for a shortcut to homemade focaccia? This Two Ingredient Dough Focaccia Protein Bread recipe skips the yeast and uses just simple ingredients—making it perfect for beginners or anyone short on time. I’ve used two ingredient dough for pizza, rolls, and bagels and wanted to try it out with focaccia! Technically there are more than 2 ingredients with the kitchen staples of salt, oil and dried rosemary….. But the tried and true two ingredients dough base is the same. The delicious flavor of fresh rosemary and sea salt on top makes each bite taste like it came straight from a bakery. No stand mixer or long dough rise needed—just mix, press, and bake!

That’s normal—add a sprinkle of flour to your work surface as needed, but don’t overdo it or the bread may dry out.

Substitutions

No self-rising flour? Use 1½ cups all-purpose flour + 2¼ tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt.
