In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast mixture and half of the olive oil.
Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it with some olive oil.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Stretch and flatten it into a rectangle about 1 cm thick, using your fingers to press dimples across the surface.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top and sprinkle with fresh rosemary leaves and coarse sea salt.
Allow the dough to rest for another 15-20 minutes. This is a secondary proofing to gain a bit of height before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the schiacciata is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
