Check if the dough's doubled in size and poke it with a finger, if the dent stays, it's ready. Don't rush it, give it time to puff up nicely for that perfect fluffy texture.

The rising time of focaccia dough usually takes one to two hours, depending on the recipe and atmosphere. Rising times might vary, thus it's important to depend more on visual signals than inflexible timelines.

Agree! When I make focaccia, I usually wait until it looks puffy and has doubled in size. It's less about sticking to a strict time and more about watching for those visual cues

Determining when your focaccia dough has risen enough is key to achieving that perfect fluffy texture. One trick is to look for visible signs of expansion—your dough should roughly double in size and have a light, airy texture. Pressing gently on the dough with your finger should leave an indentation that slowly springs back. Another method is the poke test: lightly pressing your finger into the dough and observing how quickly the indentation fills back in. Once your dough has reached this stage, it's ready for baking to create the fluffiest focaccia ever! Cheers to baking success!

When focaccia bread has doubled in size and springs back slowly when gently pressed with a finger, it's ready for baking!
