How to Make Frugal Gourmet's Focaccia
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add enough of the remaining 1/2 cup all-purpose flour to make a stiff dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 1-1.5 hours).
- Divide the dough in half. Lightly oil two baking sheets.
- Gently stretch and spread each half of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets using your fingers to create dimples.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Brush the garlic oil evenly over the surface of each focaccia.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon dried rosemary and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheets before cutting into squares and serving.
