How to Make the Best Sourdough Focaccia

This is the only homemade focaccia recipe you will ever need! This sourdough focaccia is soft & chewy, bakes up beautifully with a crispy golden brown crust, and the discard adds complex flavor. If you plan ahead, you can do the chilling stage overnight and bake your focaccia in the morning. And no shaping or Dutch oven is needed!
