Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

  4. 4

    First Rise

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

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Shape the Focaccia

    Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Stretch and shape it to fit the sheet, creating dimples with your fingers.

  7. 7

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle more olive oil on top and sprinkle with fresh rosemary and a pinch of salt.

  8. 8

    Second Rise

    Let the focaccia rise again for about 20-30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  10. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
