Creating Easy Sourdough Discard Focaccia Bread can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix Ingredients: Add the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, olive oil, and sea salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined. The dough will be sticky.
3. Knead the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Shape the Dough: Once risen, transfer the dough to a greased baking pan. Using your fingers, gently stretch it out to fit the pan. Dimple the surface with your fingers, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle flaky sea salt and fresh herbs on top.
6. Second Rise: Cover the pan with a cloth and let the dough rest for an additional 20-30 minutes to allow it to puff up slightly.
7. Preheat Oven: While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
8. Bake the Focaccia: Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and enjoy warm.
