Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1.5 cups Grated mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Extra olive oil for drizzling
• 0.5 teaspoon Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Add the all-purpose flour, water, olive oil, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and let it run its course to prepare the focaccia dough.

Step 3

When the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface. Gently knead in the chopped fresh rosemary until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 14x10 inches.

Step 5

Spread the grated mozzarella cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and minced garlic evenly over half of the dough surface, leaving a 1-inch border.

Step 6

Fold the dough over the filling to create a stuffed rectangle. Pinch the edges tightly to seal the dough.

Step 7

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the stuffed dough onto it. Gently press the dough out to even the thickness and shape if needed.

Step 8

Cover the dough loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 10

Use your fingers to gently press dimples into the surface of the dough. Drizzle extra olive oil over the top and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and shredded Parmesan cheese.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious stuffed rosemary focaccia!
