Method

Focaccia Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sea salt, and chopped rosemary. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

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