Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Additional olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Pour the warm water, olive oil, and honey into your bread machine pan.

Step 2

Add the salt, all-purpose flour, and instant yeast to the pan, ensuring the yeast does not directly touch the salt.

Step 3

Set your bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start it. This cycle typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours.

Step 4

Once the dough cycle is complete, gently remove the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 5

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread the dough out evenly into the pan with your fingers.

Step 6

Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 8

Using your fingertips, poke dimples all over the risen dough. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the surface and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Add chopped fresh rosemary on top if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
