Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fluffy Garlic Butter Sourdough Focaccia
  1. Combine sourdough starter with lukewarm water, mix until dissolved, then add bread flour and salt. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Perform stretch-and-fold technique, then cover and let rise for 8 hours until doubled in size.
  3. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for at least 8 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°F. Drizzle baking pan with olive oil, transfer dough upside down, and shape into a rectangle.
  5. Fold the edges toward the center and flip the dough over. This builds surface tension.
  6. Cover dough and let rise for 4 hours until it spreads and nearly doubles.
  7. Preheat oven to 450°F. Ensure a high temperature for crispy crust.
  8. Drizzle olive oil on surface and create dimples with fingertips. Sprinkle with rosemary and finishing salt.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Melt butter, add garlic and parsley, and brush the mixture over warm focaccia after baking.
  11. Let cool for 30 minutes, slice, serve, and enjoy!
