Fluffy Vegan Garlic & Herb Focaccia

Step 4: Prepare the Pan

Generously oil a baking pan with olive oil. Don’t be shy—this is what creates the crispy bottom.

Transfer the dough into the pan and gently stretch it to fit.

Step 5: Second Rise

Cover and let the dough rest for another 30–60 minutes. It should puff up noticeably.

This second rise is crucial for fluffiness.

Garlic & Herb Oil: The Flavor Booster

While the dough rises, prepare the garlic oil.

Warm olive oil gently and add minced garlic and herbs. Do not fry—just infuse.

This oil will:

• Add aroma
• Prevent dryness
• Enhance browning
