Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it along with the olive oil to the flour mixture.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Shaping and Topping

  1. 5

    Prepare the Baking Sheet

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Stretch and press the dough out to fit the sheet evenly.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top of the dough. Use your fingers to create dimples in the surface. Sprinkle the fresh rosemary, sea salt, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the dough.

  4. 8

    Second Rise

    Cover the shaped dough with a cloth and let it rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.

Baking

  1. 9

    Bake the Focaccia

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. The focaccia should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  2. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
