In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, dry yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, then gradually add the flour while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a 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 towel, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, thinly slice the red onion and sauté it in a small amount of olive oil over medium heat until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking tray or pan.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking tray. Stretch the dough evenly to cover the tray, then use your fingertips to press dimples into the surface of the dough.
Drizzle olive oil over the dough, ensuring it gets into the dimples, and sprinkle it with fresh rosemary leaves, caramelized onions, and pitted black olives.
Let the dough rest for another 20 minutes to rise slightly before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the focaccia is golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Allow the focaccia to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
