Method

Focaccia Directions

1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

2

Mix the Ingredients

Add flour, olive oil, salt, and rosemary to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

3

Knead the Dough

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

4

First Rise

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

5

Shape the Focaccia

Once risen, punch down the dough and spread it onto a greased baking sheet. Dimple the surface with your fingers.

6

Second Rise

Cover again and let rise for another 30 minutes.

7

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
