Caffeine Free Focaccia with Tomatoes and Olives

Thick, golden, and dimpled all over with juicy tomatoes and briny Kalamata olives, this focaccia is the kind of bread that makes people hover around the kitchen waiting for it to cool. The dough comes together with just flour, yeast, salt, and a generous pour of extra-virgin olive oil, which gives the crumb that signature richness and the bottom crust a satisfying, almost crispy chew. Fresh rosemary scattered across the top perfumes the whole loaf as it bakes, and a finish of flaky sea salt pulls every flavor into focus. For anyone keeping caffeine out of their diet, this recipe is naturally a safe choice — no tea, coffee, chocolate, or hidden stimulants anywhere in the ingredient list, just wholesome pantry staples. The two-rise method is what makes the texture so pillowy and open, so don't rush the resting time; it's mostly hands-off and absolutely worth it. Serve it warm alongside a bowl of soup, tear it apart at the table with good olive oil for dipping, or use thick slabs as the base for an open-faced sandwich. Once you see how straightforward homemade focaccia really is, the store-bought version is going to have a hard time competing.
