Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it foams. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Focaccia
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press it out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Create dimples in the surface with your fingers.
