Focaccia Ingredients
Focaccia Directions
1. Prepare the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F or 43°C) with the active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes.
4. First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
5. Prepare the Pan
Grease a baking sheet or a rectangular pan with olive oil. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared pan.
6. Shape the Focaccia
Using your fingers, press the dough into the pan, creating dimples all over the surface. Drizzle more olive oil on top and sprinkle with fresh rosemary and coarse sea salt.
7. Second Rise
Cover the pan with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
8. Preheat the Oven
While the dough rises, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
9. Bake
Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Cool and Serve
Remove the focaccia from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then cut it into squares and serve warm.
