Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 350 milliliters Warm water (around 110°F/45°C)
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 80 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Rosemary, fresh (roughly chopped)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 60 milliliters of olive oil.

Step 3

Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms. Turn it out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a large baking sheet or pan with parchment paper and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Stretch and press it into a rectangular shape, about 1-2 cm thick.

Step 7

Use your fingers to create dimples all over the surface of the dough. Brush the remaining 20 milliliters of olive oil evenly across the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped rosemary over the dough, followed by the flaky sea salt.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the focaccia is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
