Everything Focaccia – Homemade focaccia dough is topped with everything seasoning (salt, poppyseeds, sesame seeds, and onion) and baked to perfection. A recipe for scallion cream cheese is also included!
Today’s recipe is a fresh take on a classic focaccia bread. I have long-loved a yummy focaccia, like this rosemary and olive oil version or this tomato pesto version. Recently, a new version took my breath away using a simple seasoning that has become popular over the last few years – Everything Focaccia! It’s a basic focaccia dough recipe sprinkled with everything but the bagel seasoning, which includes sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dehydrated onion, and salt.
As you see from the links above, I have made two different focaccias on this blog. I wanted to try a no-knead version of the dough for this Everything Focaccia so that’s why you’ll notice some difference between this dough and previous versions. The dough is much easier to make since there is no judgement necessary when it comes to kneading the dough. You just need to fold it a couple times to help build the gluten and then let it sit overnight for 24 hours.
Oh and bonus! I included a recipe for scallion cream cheese to enjoy with the bread. It’s super simple (only 3 ingredients!) and incredibly flavorful. You may even want to use it for bagels or toast.
Without further ado, here is the Everything Focaccia!
Tips & Tricks
- Wet dough. This recipe is mostly a no-knead dough because it’s so sticky and wet. There is no way to knead this dough without making a huge mess. So we let the air bubble create the texture we want.
- Long rest time. To build the flavor and texture in the dough, we must rest the dough for 24 hours. So please give yourself enough time to make this dough before you expect to enjoy it!
- Freeze extra bread. This bread is best enjoyed the day you make it. If you don’t eat all the bread in that time, you should freeze the extras. You can easily reheat in the oven or microwave.
Everything Focaccia
Ingredients
For the focaccia:
- 4⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 2¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2⅓ cup water
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
For the scallion cream cheese:
- 8 ounce-block cream cheese room temperature
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Add all focaccia ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using a dough hook, mix together until a soft dough forms. Dough will be really wet and sticky. Grease another bowl well. Pour wet dough into bowl. Cover and set aside for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, pinch the outside edges of the dough and pull to the center. Cover again for another 45 minutes. Repeat this 2 more times.

To make “Everything Focaccia,” start by preparing a basic homemade focaccia dough with flour, yeast, water, olive oil, and salt. Let the dough rise until it’s doubled in size, then spread it onto a baking sheet. Before baking, generously sprinkle a mix of everything seasoning—salt, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion—over the dough. Bake until golden brown and crispy on the edges. To elevate the experience, prepare scallion cream cheese as a savory spread to complement the bread.

I’m familiar with traditional focaccia recipes that involve kneading. Trying a no-knead version seems much easier and less time-consuming, especially for busy weeknights.
