Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 350 ml Warm water
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 10 grams Instant yeast
• 10 grams Sugar
• 10 grams Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary (optional topping)
• 1 tablespoon Sea salt flakes (optional topping)
• 1 large Onion, thinly sliced (optional topping)
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional topping)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Grease a large baking sheet or shallow pan with olive oil.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, spreading and pressing the dough with your fingers until it evenly covers the surface of the pan.

Step 7

Use your fingertips to dimple the surface of the dough, creating small pockets for toppings.

Step 8

Choose your topping: For rosemary and sea salt, drizzle olive oil on the surface and sprinkle with fresh rosemary and sea salt flakes. For caramelized onion, sauté the thinly sliced onion in olive oil over low heat until soft and caramelized, then spread over the dough. For cherry tomato and basil, arrange halved cherry tomatoes on the dough and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.

Step 9

Let the dough rest for another 20-30 minutes to rise slightly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and the edges are crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
