Focaccia Ingredients
Method
Focaccia Directions
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

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

Shape the Focaccia
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Stretch the dough to fit the pan, making dimples with your fingers.

Add Toppings
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and scatter fresh rosemary.

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