1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl or jar, layer the dry ingredients starting with the flour at the bottom, followed by the instant yeast, sugar, sea salt, dried rosemary, and garlic powder. This will create a neat visual presentation in the jar or gift container.
2. Seal the jar or container tightly and attach a small label or card with the instructions for baking the focaccia.
3. Include the following instructions on the gift tag for the recipient:
- In a large bowl, combine the contents of this jar with 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) warm water and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Transfer the risen dough into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with your fingers. Use your fingertips to create small dimples all over the surface of the dough.
- Drizzle the top with 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) olive oil and sprinkle with additional rosemary or flaky sea salt, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and cooked through.
- Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
