In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Activate the Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Mix the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead the Dough

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

First Rise

Grease a baking sheet or a 9x13 inch pan with olive oil.

Prepare the Pan

Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared pan. Stretch it out to fit the pan, creating dimples with your fingers.

Shape the Dough

Drizzle the top with olive oil, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and fresh rosemary.

Add Toppings

Cover with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Second Rise

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Bake

Allow the focaccia to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
