In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Then add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Prepare the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

First Rise

Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and spread it out onto the prepared baking sheet.

Prepare the Baking Pan

Dimple the surface of the dough with your fingers, then sprinkle with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and sea salt.

Add Toppings

Allow the dough to rise again for about 20-30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Second Rise

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