How to Make Herbed Focaccia Bread
- In a large bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, and oregano work well) to the yeast mixture.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
- Transfer the dough to a 9x13 inch baking pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt (optional). Let rise for another 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C). Keep a close eye on it, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
