“This recipe is a gift you give to your future self,” Garner shared on her Instagram in a recent installment of her Pretend Cooking show.

In one bowl, Garner adds 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of yeast and 2 teaspoons of salt before whisking. She then folds in 2 cups of lukewarm water and forms the dough. Coating the dough in olive oil, Garner covers the dough and pops it in the refrigerator so it can rise overnight.
“You can use dried herbs, and if your kids don’t like herbs, you don’t have to use any at all,” she suggests. With a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and one more drizzle of olive oil, Garner pops the focaccia dough in the oven and lets it bake for 25 to 30 minutes. When the focaccia is golden, she lets it cool for 10 minutes before cutting up and serving.
