Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 350 milliliters Warm water
• 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 80 milliliters Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 1 tablespoons Flaky sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the all-purpose flour, and the salt to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Lightly oil a large, clean bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer the risen dough to the pan and gently stretch it out to fit the pan. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for 10 minutes and try again.

Step 6

Cover the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).

Step 8

Using your fingertips, create dimples all over the surface of the risen dough. Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the surface, letting it pool in the dimples. Sprinkle fresh rosemary leaves and flaky sea salt on top.

Step 9

Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
