Exquisite Yeastless Focaccia
This quick, yeast-free focaccia bakes up with a tender interior and a lightly crisp, olive oil–brushed crust. Cayenne adds gentle warmth while dried basil and garlic salt bring aromatic depth, all finished with nutty Parmesan. Serve warm alongside soups, salads, or a weeknight pasta when you want big flavor without a long rise.

It does not need to be perfectly even, but ensure there are no holes. Rub olive oil over the top and sides of the dough. Season with cayenne, garlic salt, and basil.
