Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil while mixing. Stir until the mixture forms a soft, sticky dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a well-oiled 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread it out evenly to cover the entire surface of the pan using your hands or a spatula.

Step 4

Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface of the dough. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the top.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped rosemary and coarse sea salt evenly across the surface.

Step 8

Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as is or with your favorite dipping oil or spread!
