In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Activate the Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture along with olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms.

Mix the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

First Rise

Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press it out into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick.

Shape the Focaccia

Cover the dough again and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes.

Second Rise

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). While the dough is rising, prepare your toppings (e.g., fresh herbs, sea salt, sliced olives).

Prepare the Toppings

Dimple the surface of the dough with your fingers and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, herbs, and any other toppings. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Add Toppings and Bake

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
